The '''''brit milah''''' (Hebrew: בְּרִית מִילָה; Ashkenazi pronunciation: bʁis ˈmilə, "covenant of [[circumcision]]"; Yiddish pronunciation: ''bris'' (bʀɪs)) is a Jewish religious male circumcision ceremony performed by a ''[[mohel]]'' on the eighth day of a male infant's life, as required by the [[Abrahamic covenant]] and the Halacha. The ''brit milah'' is followed by a celebratory meal.
