Yesterday morning I attended my first bris in Crown Heights. It was a little different from the ones in Singapore, namely that the men and women stood together as a mixed crowd around the mohel and baby. Here, the bris was done in the mens' section of the Menachem Nachum Shul (Crown Street) but I still managed to catch a few pix through the gaps in the mechitzah (mostly the back of the men's heads, but hey, I tried my best.)

Anyways, the simcha was that of Yisroel and Aliza Silberstein (nee Lowenstein), proud first-time parents ! The baby was named Menachem Mendel. May he bring much nachas and joy to his parents and family !
