On the 20th of December, Gavin was welcomed into the Jewish community by having his Bris Milah and His Naming . Now I know most people these days are keeping their boys natural and not having a CircumcisionYou have to understand that even thou we are not super religious. My bubby(grandma) wanted soo bad to have her great grandchildren brought up Jewish. So to Honor her wishes( she passed away in 04) we had Gavin's bris and naming during a very small family ceremony on the 20th. It was beautiful. My daddy and sister had the highest honors. And Gavin was named after 2 of the men in my life I miss the most. My grandfather's Irvin and Joe.
Bris Milah Judaism views body and soul as holy partners in serving G-d. Therefore, the bris is performed on the most physical part, for all of man is holy before his Creator. Bris Milah joins the forces of body and soul together in serving G-d
The naming of the childis the most emotional part of many bris ceremonies. Ashkenazic-European Jews have the custom of naming after the deceased. The immortalizing of a close relative or friend is a beautiful tradition. Sephardic Jews have the tradition to name after the living. A child may have one or more names, in accordance with the parents' desires
