A reception follows the ceremony. <\/span><\/p>\n During this meal, it is good that bread is served[1].<\/span><\/p>\n At the end of this meal as in other circumstances, people who have consumed bread will recite the Birkat hamazon [2].<\/span><\/p>\n The source of this meal that follows the Brit-milah is also found in the following verse : \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05bc\u05d2\u05b0\u05d3\u05b7\u05bc\u05a5\u05dc \u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05b6\u05bc\u0596\u05dc\u05b6\u05d3 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05bc\u05d2\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05b7\u0591\u05dc \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b7\u05bc\u05a4\u05e2\u05b7\u05e9\u05c2 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05dd\u0599 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c1\u05ea\u05b6\u05bc\u05a3\u05d4 \u05d2\u05b8\u05d3\u0594\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d9\u0596\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b4\u05d2\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05b5\u05a5\u05dc \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05be\u05d9\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05bd\u05e7\u05c3 ” and The child grew, he was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day when Yitzhak was weaned” (Berechit\/Genesis<\/em> 21, 8). It is taught that by breaking down the word \u05d4\u05b4\u05d2\u05b8\u05bc\u05de\u05dc\u05dc, we get the letters he and guimel (5 +5=8) followed by the letters mem and lamed which form the word \u05de\u05dc meaning “circumcised”. Because of this, the interpretation of the verse becomes: “on the eighth day when Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, he made a great feast” [3].<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the blessing of concluding the meal after the circumcision, we will not forget to include the specific blessings of this day: these are blessings for the child and his parents, but also for the Mohel, for the sandak. Also added are good wishes for the coming of the Messiah.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2013 A person pronounces a dracha during the meal<\/strong> \u2013 It can be a rabbi, the mohel, the father, etc. The fact of speaking Torah during this reception raises the spiritual level, already great, of this moment.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013 A man is assigned to recite the birkat hamazone<\/em> or the me’ein chaloch<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong> – This is thanksgiving after the meal: birkat hamazone<\/em> if this meal includes bread; me’ein chaloch<\/em> \u00a0after mezonot (pastries for example), wine or certain fruits (including dates, olives).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ————\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Footnotes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [1] According to the custom of Algiers, one always begins with a cup of wine on which the blessing is pronounced by a Cohen (Simon Darmon, 1995, p. 420).<\/span><\/p>\n [2] Harokeah 117 and R\u2019\u2018Haye Adam, cit. by R.
