We celebrated Kaleb's bris on Sunday January 16, 2011. Poppy & Jaye, Uncle Ari, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Willie and Bubbe were all present as Kaleb for the bris ceremony. Rabbi Henesch performed a beautiful ceremony that (much to my surprise) did not seem to be very painful for Kaleb. The ceremony consisted of many prayers and readings, the rabbi explained that the bris signifies the sons' birth into the family. Each family member present was asked to hold Kaleb as the Rabbi prayed. Greg and I read a beautiful passage about the life of a son. The rabbi included Kinley in the ceremony as well. It was a very moving and emotional ceremony. I am thankful that our family was able to be there to celebrate and am thankful that the bris was exactly the opposite of what I expected :)
Kaleb's full name:
Kaleb Irving Katanick - Irving is in memory of Greg's paternal grandfather
Kaleb's Hebrew Name:
