Barbara23472ParticipantI’m Christian and had never been to a bris until my girlfriend’s son was born. I went with much trepidation and a preconceived notion that a bris was “barbaric.” I felt the best place for this procedure was a hospital with a qualified doctor in attendance. I was very surprised to witness a beautiful celebration. I was not in the room when it was done, and I don’t recommend that you or your children be a witness to the act. What I did find very sweet, however, was that when it was done, he was placed in the loving arms of his family, and not put in his cold basinette at a hospital. If the gathering is anything like the one I was at, you can expect a “Christening” kind of atmosphere, along with a naming ceremony. The only people present at the actual circumcision were the immediate family (except for the baby’s mother, who couldn’t watch). As for a gift, I would think anything you would give to welcome a baby into the world would be appropriate and appreciated.
