Briss or bris or brit means "covenant". The full form is brit milah, "covenant of cutting". Briss etc is a short way of saying the Jewish ritual of naming a boy, including circumcision and a shared meal.

Jewish circumcision is commonly done much more quickly than medical circumcision, often with no more anaesthetic than a sop of wine, but it still must involve the foreskin being torn away from the penis-head (glans) before it is cut. This commonly throws the baby into shock so that he seems to "sleep right through it".

Brit Shalom is a naming ceremony with everything but the circumcision.
