===Minyan for Brit=== | |||
# When possible a Brit Milah should be done int he presence of a [[minyan]]<ref>Piskei Maharach Or Zaruah (Milah n. 36), Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 265:12</ref> in order to publisize the fact that a crucial mitzvah is being performed to bring the child into the covenant of Avraham Avinu. Additionally, it is a oppurtune moment to thank Hashem in public for the healthy birth of a baby boy.<ref>[http://www.chabad.org.il/Magazines/Article.asp?ArticleID=9093&CategoryID=1683 chabad.org.il]. See Otzar Habrit p. 183 and 238</ref> | |||
#One should not delay a brit milah in order to get a minyan for the seuda.<ref>[https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1495&pgnum=263 Maharam Shik YD 386] writes that to perform a mitzvah in a more enhanced manner it is permitted to delay it as we see by Birkat Halevana. However, having a minyan for the brit milah isn't a sufficient reason to delay the milah.</ref> | |||
