A Personalized Bris Experience — With Dignity, Care, and Community Values

Many North Shore families want a halachically valid Bris, but without the stress of coordinating a hospital or synagogue schedule.

With My Home Circumcision, you get:

  • A certified Mohel with medical training — respectful of both tradition and infant care
  • A ceremony that feels warm and intentional, not rushed or impersonal
  • Flexibility for family roles — Sandek, grandparents, siblings, blessings, and Hebrew name announcement
  • Guidance from start to finish — no need to prepare prayers or know anything in advance
  • A calm environment where your baby is held by family, not hospital staff

You bring the love. We’ll bring the care, tradition, and expertise.

Why So Many North Shore Families Are Choosing a Home Bris

In our local community, family and tradition matter.

But so does doing things in a way that feels calm, respectful, and personal.

  • No waiting rooms. No sterile hospital lighting.
  • No feeling rushed between procedures.
  • Instead — a meaningful Bris in your living room, surrounded by the people who matter most.

Some families invite their rabbi or cantor to participate — others prefer a simple, elegant ceremony.

Either way, it will be done with kavod (honor), care, and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bris at Home

Do we need to be religious or know Hebrew to have a Bris?

Not at all. We guide every step of the ceremony with clear explanations so everyone understands the meaning. Hebrew blessings can be included if you wish, and English translations are always offered.

What if we don’t know our baby’s Hebrew name yet?

That’s very common. During our consultation, we’ll walk you through simple naming options and help you choose something meaningful, whether you’re honoring tradition, a family member, or simply want a beautiful Hebrew name.

Who can be involved in the ceremony?

Parents, grandparents, and even siblings can all have special roles. We’ll help you assign honors like Sandek (the person who holds the baby), blessing readers, or name announcer so it becomes a true family moment.

Will the procedure cause pain to the baby?

We use a gentle, quick method designed specifically for newborn comfort. Babies are soothed immediately, and most settle within moments. We also provide healing cream and easy aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

What happens if the baby was born by C-section or had a medical complication?

Your baby’s health is always the priority. During your consultation, we will review the birth and your pediatrician’s notes. If needed, the Bris can be postponed with full religious validity and still performed as a sacred ceremony.

Is a home Bris as safe as a hospital circumcision?

Yes — and in many cases, more comfortable for the baby. The procedure is performed by a trained Mohel with medical expertise using sterile equipment. Babies tend to stay calmer and recover more peacefully in their own home.

Can we still have a Bris if our baby is older than 8 days?

Yes. While the traditional timing is the 8th day, if delayed for medical reasons or personal choice, a Bris can still be performed with full ceremony and meaning.

What do we need to prepare before the ceremony?

Just your family. We bring all necessary medical and ceremonial items. We’ll give you optional suggestions for setup or seating, but there’s nothing formal you need to purchase or arrange.

Is there a celebration meal required after?

A festive bite is traditional but not required. Some families choose to offer bagels and coffee, while others keep it very simple. We support your comfort and customs — no pressure.

Do you offer support after the ceremony?

Yes. You’ll receive a direct contact number for easy check-ins.

Create a Moment Your Family Will Remember Forever

A Bris isn’t just a ritual — it’s a moment of welcome, identity, and connection. Let us help you honor your tradition in a way that feels personal, peaceful, and filled with blessing.
