Video Transcription

Shalom! This video is to help guide people of how to officiate at a Brit milah. Now normally, there is the male who can be a doctor or just a professional male, and they will, if they are all by themselves they will conduct both parts of the ceremony. But if there is a Rabbi or someone a lay person to officiate then they usually split it up where the male do the medical procedure and maybe if you are the prayers and the other person will do the naming. So it begins, if you look on your Rabbi’s manual, if you have been reading some Rabbi manual, page A12 in the first volume, and there is some prayers there you want to offer some introductory marks about Brit milah. The Torah commands it to be done on the 8th day and then there are some prayers to read. So you can just pick a few of those in the ceremony. You will need a Sandak often a grandfather or some other person to “hold the baby” and they - usually now the babies are strap down, so you just put your hands on them and you feed them, wipe if that is what the Mohel want you to do. There will be the Sandak, and then you have a Kvatter and Kvatterin, which are the honorary godparents, will bring the baby in. Now when the baby has comes in as it says here, everybody rises and you say, “Baruch Haba”, and then the parents of the child are suppose to say this, you can help them with their hineni muchan umzuman that – (Foreign Language). Then it is your English and of course if they are not a Hebrew at all, you can put it in English, and then you will need a special chair called the Keesay shel Eliahu, the invoking the presence of the prophet Elijah and it has an explanation here, and then when you put the baby on the special sit you continue with this, (Foreign Language). That is the prayer for the chair of Elijah. Then, the Mohel will ask everybody there to say, repeat after him, (Foreign Language). Now, the father is obligated to do the Brit milah but you can put an agency, so you have to ask him, it is kind of humorous to do this, if you wanted to do the Brit milah yourself or if you want to point someone here to do it for you, so whom. And then the father of course will say, the Mohel. Then the Mohel when he is ready to actually do the cutting says, (Foreign Language). And then the parents or the Sandak, in the parents absence would say, (Foreign Language). Then, you asked everyone there to say the following words, repeat them, (Foreign Language). Now, the naming, I am going to do the old thing, depending on you audience, you can say how much to do in Hebrew, how much you do in English. If you need help with the name, of course, the boy, that child’s name would be whatever his name, at then be whatever his name is at Ben the father and sometimes the mother if you wanted to add that of course. If you needed a couple of wine and you say. (Foreign Language) Then, it is says here now you can serve your practice of only the mother of yours and only the mother is use for the bet. Okay, then you continues. (Foreign Language) And hear you out of his name. And I invite you to get some in order them from like it is ____0441 bookstore. Some bodies naming certificates and you know you put the boys name and make it official. The boys name Ben whoever ____0450. Now, if the parents are dead you said if they got head them. (Foreign Language) And then, you asked everyone to repeat this word how do lot of. (Foreign Language) When you gave his name again. (Foreign Language) In that do you can offer a prayer back in page 824, you can drink some wine. This is basically it and then you can close with the _____0613 which is on page 827. Put your hands on child head. (Foreign Language) There you standing brief me I will stand and then afterwards you would sing Cemento. (Foreign Language)
