According to Schulman, a brit is delayed until the next weekday if a baby is delivered by cesarean section and cannot be performed on the Sabbath or a Jewish holiday.(Schulman 2013).
The ritual begins with the infant's mother bringing him to the location where the circumcision will be performed, usually a synagogue. The mother will pass her son to kvatters, or messengers, who pass the child on to the side of the room that the circumcision will be performed. The kvatters are usually a childless husband and wife team, and it is considered a blessing to the childless couple who hope that they will be blessed with their own child in return. This part of the ceremony symbolizes the human body's connection to God, with "the messengers assist[ing] and escort[ing] the infant in this connection of the physical body with Godliness."(Zaklikowski 2013).
One of the attendees will place the infant boy in the Chair of Elijah, which many synagogues have a specially designated ornamented chair, while the mohel chants and asks for Elijah to "stand stand to his right and protect him, so nothing will go wrong during the circumcision." "(Zaklikowski 2013). Next the infant is raised from the chair and handed to his father, who in turn places the child on the lap of the sandek or father's representative. The sandek holds the infant in his lap, with the boy's father next to the mohel while the mohel.
The father hands the mohel the circumcision knife, which is extremely sharp and double sided, and announces that he appoints the mohel to be his messenger and perform the circumcision. The mohel recites a blessing, performs the circumcision, and then recites another blessing. After the response from the crow, a second sandek holds the infant while blessings are recited over a cup of wine and the child is given his Hebrew name. The mohel will then dip his pinky finger into the wine and place it in the child's mouth.
