After receiving a last minute call, we were delighted to be able to provide all of the photographic services for the Brit Milah of Elroi in Kfar Saba, Israel. Located in the Sharon area of Israel, approximately 25 to 30 minutes north east of the coastal town of Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba is a suburban paradise for young families.
It was a low key event which took place in the home of the new grandparents. Attended by approximately twenty to thirty people, the atmosphere was informal and friendly. Elroie’s mother was nervous as her son entered in the Brit Milah, but overcame her nerves once the formal ceremony had been performed and was over.
In tradition with age old customs, the man who held the baby during the ceremony, referred to as the Sandek (Godfather) bestowed blessings on all who requested, once the ritual of the Brit Milah ceremony had been completed.
