Shabbat 137: Possible Confusions in Brit Milah
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Finishing off this chapter on brit milah. What if you do a brit milah on Shabbat that wasn't supposed to happen until Sunday? Or Friday? Interestingly, the dispute here is rooted in a parallel of idolatry. And: Brit milah takes place on the 8th day of the baby's life, but it also can happen in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th days, simply because of how the calendar works out. And of course the brit delayed for the sake of the health of the baby. Also: Precision on removing the foreskin. Plus: The blessings made for each person who might need a brit milah. Hadran alakh R. Eliezer de-Milah.
