In Judaism, boys are circumcised during a ceremony called the Brit Milah in Hebrew (בְּרִית מִילָה) or Bris in Yiddish, which takes place when the boy is eight days old.

The Bar Mitzvah is a different ceremony held when the boy is thirteen years old, marking the fact that the boy is now considered old enough under Jewish law to be responsible for his actions and perform certain tasks in the synagogue.
