Scope and content
Bris (circumcision) cards in Hebrew.They do not seem to belong to any one Hebrew congregation. They have the name of the Mohel (who does the circumcision), the sandak (who holds the baby), the baby’s name and a notice of the circumcision from an English newspaper that is neatly stuck to the top of the card.
