It is performed eight days after Jewish children are born. This procedure is performed by a mohel, a person who has been raised in accordance with Jewish rules and has received a comprehensive education, including circumcision. In Brit Milah, the mohel; After the baby is given a Jewish name, removes the baby's foreskin and drains blood from his genital.
The dictionary meaning of Brit Milah is "circumcision contract". Abraham, the father of the Jewish religion, was the first Brit Milah in history and he circumcised himself. Abraham swore that he would teach his descendants to serve God faithfully. In return, God promised to ensure the survival of Abraham's descendants.
This contract, or agreement, between God and Abraham was considered the law of circumcision. Today, when Jews perform circumcision, they perpetuate this contract and make their children a part of this eternal promise.
