Bris Jewish ceremony is the first mega event in the life of your newly born Jewish baby boy. Jewish circumcision is a very delicate action upon an eight day old boy. Loads of preparations have to be taken to make the Bris Jewish ceremony a successful one. However, the whole process of blessings and the name giving is been undertaken through an organized way. The Jewish baby is taken from the hand of the mother and it passes through several hands before it reaches the standing Sandak. The Mohel performs the Bris and finally returns the child back to the mother.
Kvatterin can also be called as the godmother who carries the Jewish baby boy from the lap of the mother to the Bris room and Kvatter is the godfather who carries the baby to the place where the Bris Jewish ceremony would be undertaken. By performing this role, both Kvatterin and Kvatter get blessings and the action is regarded as auspicious for the ceremony. However, married people can only be subjected with this honor.
The baby boy is put in a chair, which is also known as Throne of Elijah, a great honor that is ...
... bestowed in the name of Prophet Elijah. Next, the father of the boy carries him to the Sandak’s lap who holds the baby during the Jewish circumcision. Sandak is equated to kohen who passes the boy to the standing Sandak and ultimately prayers are recited declaring the name of the boy.
