The Circumcision

Marc and Alana decided to stay faithful and were feasting on steaks at Reserve Cut.

“Well, Marc, I guess we have Brit Milah to protect.”

“Yeah, Alana. Great job in the hospital.  Jen’s baby is cute.”

“He is. Think we will ever have a baby?”

Marc smiled.

“You know us. But you never know,” he said.

They sipped their wine.

The next morning the two “lovebirds” rose early and went to shul for the event.

It was a huge crowd.  Lots of bagels were downstairs in the banquet room. The traditional meal after the circumcision.

Mark and Alana went to their respective sections.  Jake and Jen looked so happy. But fear was written across their faces. They were so happy after the mess at their wedding that their friends and family showed.

Alana knew she knocked out Anat in the hospital. But she was by no means down for the count.

They finished morning services and the mohel came up front.  The baby was quiet.  Jake’s grandpa Sam was the sandek. He held the baby. The wine was poured. The bay got his first sip. Blessings were said.  The foreskin was cut by the mohel.  Everything was peaceful.  The baby was named, Benjamin.

All went downstairs and had an amazing breakfast. Marc and Alana bid everyone farewell at the end and went to Strawberry Fields.
