In the Jewish religion, all male children are supposed to be circumcised, always on the 8th day of their life unless health issues require a delay. This is in accordance with verses in the Hebrew Bible (Tanach) where God commanded that the Hebrews (later known as Jews) perform this action.
The purpose was to consecrate the boy to the service of the One God, to enter the covenant which God had made with His people. The word "Bris" is the Yiddish pronunciation of the Hebrew Brit Milah, referring to the mitzvah (divinely given guideline) to circumcise the male children. It was the first commandment given to the Jews, and Abraham was the first to have a circumcision.
