I was the Sandak G-dfather Today for my new grandson Michael

August 16, 2010

Brit Mila

Today all the news in the world just didn’t concern me or the family as my new grandson had his brit mila (circumcision). I normally do not write about personal family events since there is so much going on in Israel that needs a voice that israelseen helps provide. However, I just couldn’t contain my joy at this miracle of being a grandpa or Saba in Hebrew. My friends have told me for a number of years now that this is an amazing experience. Now my wife and I are just beginning to absorb this new opportunity to share ourselves with this new member of the tribe. I can get all high and mighty about how we can help shape this little soul into being a mench but right now I just feel so blessed to hold him and to feel the warmth that surrounds him in a community of love and affection.

    Sometimes, the personal is allowed to take precedence over the “merely” universal and earth-shaking. This is one of those times. Blessings to all of you — and to us who become your extended family on israelseen.com .
