With a bris on our mind (we're attending a friend's grandson's brit milah today -- Mazal tov, Joyce, Amy, Noah, and Ruby) -- we just happened to come across a new YouTube posting from Israel that features a bris party like we've never seen before and we're unlikely to see again.
We think it's fun to celebrate simchas even if we don't know the celebrants, especially if there are some unusual and unexpected aspects. In this video, the celebrant arrives at the reception in style, in a remote controlled car. From the baby's size and alertness, we think that the party took place not on the day of the brit milah, but a few days later. But hey, you never know.
Watching the baby arrive in the car, we couldn't help remembering one of our favorite Saturday Night Live commercial parodies, the one for the 1978 Royal Deluxe II luxury car with a ride so smooth, a rabbi could perform a circumcision in the back seat. Well, we found the video, featuring Dan Ackroyd and Gilda Radner, and you'll see it below, just after the bris party video. Enjoy, and Mazal Tov to all!

Let's hope 8 days old is too young to be traumatized. And certainly if that little boy's parents continue on the path they have begun, they will be raising the perfect "Jewish Prince." I think it is quite sad.
ReplyDeleteNuts! The second video can only be viewed in the United States.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how close this follows Gen 21:4 when Abraham circumcised Isaac? Should I send this to our daughter and son in law? Our first grandchild, a boy, is expected August 8th. B"H
