To Do List:
Arranging a Bris for your new baby can be a daunting task. This page will provide you with a step by step to do list to make the process as smooth and easy as possible.
1. Call the Mohel
2. Decide on a time. A Bris must be done on the eight day (usually the same day of the week that the baby was born). It can be done any time between sunrise and sunset. Most prefer a morning Bris, but some do a late morning brunch or evening event.
3. Decide on a venue. Some prefer to do a smaller more intimate Bris in their home, whereas others prefer to do it in a shul or temple. Some choose something in between such as a yacht club or common room located in their complex. The Bris can be done almost anywhere and tailor designed to each family. All the mohel will need is a chair and good lighting.
4. Choose a Caterer. There are quite a few options for kosher catering in the area. Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels in Palo Alto is a good, easy, and relatively inexpensive way to do a Bris.
5. Invite your family and friends. After deciding on a time and place you will need to get the word out to all those you want to invite. An email invitation is usually sufficient.
