So you’re a new mom planning a bris for your newborn son, and you have absolutely no idea where to start–and only eight days to figure it out. Or maybe you aren’t even sure how you feel about circumcision in general and want to explore other opinions. Or maybe you’re on the receiving end of a bris invite and just want to know what to expect.
