Brit Milah (circumcision) is one of the best-known Jewish mitzvot (religious duties) and signifies the unique relationship between a Jewish boy and God. Traditionally, a baby boy is named during his bris.

As the baby is brought into the room, it is customary for guests to greet him by saying "Baruch HaBa," which is an expression of formal welcome.

The mohel then recites a blessing (in Hebrew), saying: "Praised are you, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments and commanded us in the ritual of circumcision." The circumcision is then performed and the father recites a blessing thanking God for bringing the child into the covenant of Abraham: "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments and commanded us to make him enter into the covenant of Abraham our father."

After the father has recited the blessing, guests respond (in Hebrew) with: "As he has entered into the covenant, so may he enter into Torah, to chuppah (the wedding canopy), and to good deeds."

Next the blessing over a cup of wine (Kiddush) is said. A prayer (Mi Shebeirach) for the baby's well-being is recited, followed by a longer prayer during which he is given his name:

"Creator of the universe. May it be Your will to regard and accept this (performance of circumcision), as if I had brought this baby before Your glorious throne. And in Your abundant mercy, through Your holy angels, give a pure and holy heart to ________, the son of ________, who was just now circumcised in honor of Your great Name. May his heart be open to comprehend Your holy Law, that he may learn and teach, keep and fulfill Your laws."
