Jonah's Bris

Not surprisingly, Andi and I were busy during the bris! So we didn't get many pictures, including none of any of the grandparents that were here. Gamah Charlotte and Uncle Jonathan catered the whole event, Poppie Harvey and Uncle Jonathan were co-sandakim, Julie and Noah, Jonah's godparents and our good friends, were the Kvatter and Kvatterin; also participating in the service were Gamah Charlotte, Poppie Harvey and Bubbie Judie, and Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Ron. All good stuff, not many pics. I believe I may get some in the mail from Ron, and if so, I'll update this post.

First, a picture of Jonah just after his bath, getting ready for the bris.



The bris took place in our bedroom, looking onto the back yard.



Here's the backyard, set up.



Jonah, wrapped in his daddy's tallis, just before the bris.



Debra the mohel, Andi, Rick, Ariella, and friend Bill, during the ceremony.



The mohel does her thing while Jonathan holds Jonah and looks on.



Rick and Andi explaining that Jonah is named for his great-grandfather Joseph and his great-aunt Glenda.



The day after the bris we celebrated with Jonah's first shabbat at home. Here are the Loeb, Frenkel, and Broussi girls at their own private table for four.



Here's a good picture of Andi with Ariella and Jonathan.
