Brit milah is the Jewish ritual circumcision ceremony performed on eight-day-old male babies.[1] The foreskin is cut off from the end of the genitals. The operation is carried out by a person called a mohel, a ritual circumciser, who has been trained and qualified for this task.This ceremony is important for many Jewish people as it is a symbol of the covenant that God made with Abraham. Abraham is a patriach.[1]
