The Circumcision Proper

Brit Milah -

The Circumcision Proper

The baby is now put on the Sandek's knees (atop the pillow) and the Mohel recites:

"Blessed art Thou, LORD our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us regarding circumcision."

During the circumcision procedure itself, the father recites:

"Blessed art Thou, LORD our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to bring him into the covenant of Abraham our father."

All present respond with:

"Amen! Just as he has entered into the covenant, so may he enter into the study of Torah, the marriage canopy, and the performance of good deeds."
