Zevi's Brit Milah was on March 28, 2013, just 8 days old. It was the first day of Chol Hamoed during Pesach (non shul days of Passover). Because it was Passover we had to find a caterer who could prepare the food and have it ready just after the holiday days. Thankfully everything came together - thanks to friends who did some shopping, Grammy and Grandpa who got the paper goods, and Mama and Daddy being organized despite having a new baby and it being Passover. Now it was time for our baby to get his name and join "the tribe."
Check out our new and improved family!
Zachary and Zoe kissing their baby before his brit and saying the Shema.
One more good luck kiss from Mama.
GG and Zadie hold him on his way to the bimah.
Then Grammy and Grandpa give him a snuggle.
Daddy brang him up to the bimah.
Aunt Rebecca was his Sondeket keeping him safe during the Brit while GG gave him grape juice. Mama had been the Sondeket for Josh and Ethan so she was sure glad Aunt Rebecca could do it for Zevi. Zevi was very brave and Rabbi Adler did a perfect job. After this, Rabbi Hyman gave Zevi his name - and everyone was awaiting this news since no one knew his name before then. Zevi Ritter in English and Zevi Reuven in hebrew in memory of our beloved Grandma/Mahma Rita who left us in 2012. Now we have our 3 Z's and Zevi became a member the tribe.
