Before, During and After the Bris

Baby Weiss after first bath 

Baby Weiss (born 12 June,  conceived via AI) got his first bath 20 June (water was at about 90F per advise from several websites).



This is part of getting him ready for the bris.




He got fed just after the bath.



He seemed to enjoy it all. However, current medical opinion is that baby smiles before about 3 months are involuntary. 
 

  June 20 was the bris.


The second image is during the bris. 

He cried for only a second or two. Before the bris he had antiseptic and some anti pain cream and during the bris he got to chew on a piece of cotton soaked in grape juice.



The third image is after the bris of Oz Yehudah Weiss.


We had about a dozen people in Beth's apartment. There were some of Beth's friends from work, some from Beth's friends from the neighborhood. Also Rimon Rafiah, from Modiyin came (a friend of mine from work in Transportation since 2006) as did Alfred and Yonnah Kromholz (friends from our synagogue since about 2004) from Jerusalem (where they now live).


After the bris we went to lunch on Bialik Street.


On the way back home I buried the foreskin in a 'garden' on the ground floor of her apartment building.
