# When possible a Brit Milah should be done | # When possible a Brit Milah should be done in the presence of a [[minyan]]<ref>Pirkei Drabbi Eliezer ch. 19, Maharil (Milah n. 2), Tur 265:6 citing Rav Sar Shalom, Piskei Maharach Or Zaruah (Milah n. 36), Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 265:6. Pirkei Drabbi Eliezer ch. 19 postulates that Hashem always made public testimonies in the presence of ten people. It then applies this dictum to Brit Milah, Chalitza, and Sheva Brachot for a wedding.</ref> in order to publicize the fact that a crucial mitzvah is being performed to bring the child into the covenant of Avraham Avinu.

Mishna Halachot argues that it is better to wait for the minyan even if it means waiting until after chatzot. Obviously though he doesn't allow delaying the brit milah for no reason.</ref> | |||
