Today, November 9, in the city of Beersheba, where the patriarch Abraham once dwelled and dug a well, an eight-day-old Jewish baby will enter into the covenant of the same Abraham. What makes this circumcision ceremony unusual is that the father of the newborn died seven years ago.Read it all.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
