A record of Seven brissim took place yesterday at the Chabad House in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.
It all started a few weeks ago, when a wedding was held for a Jewish couple in Shymkent. The Shliach of the city: Rabbi Mordechai Morosow together with other Shluchim from around the country who came to attend the wedding talked and inspired the guests about the concept of Bris Mila.
A few days later, the joy continued. A Jewish boy was born in the community. Mazal tov! His parents decided to arrange a Bris Milah. Slowly 6 other community members followed and took upon this great mitzvah of having a Bris Milah too!
With much positivity, Michael explained to the others waiting in turn his experience and convinced another jew, the seventh, to do it too!
Rabbi Elchanan Cohen was the Mohel, despite his busy schedule, he took the time to travel and make the brisin.
From early morning, to minutes before sunset, without any break, the brisin were made one after another. From a month-old child to a 64-year-old adult Jew, Rabbi Morosow stood and read their new Jewish names: Michael, Nachman, Baruch, Daniel, Levi, Zohar and the seventh: David.
Rabbi Elchanan Cohen, who serves as a mohel for Bris Yosef Yitzchak says excitedly: “I can sum up a day like this in one sentence: ‘This is the best preparation I’ve ever had for a birthday’. It is the greatest privilege for me!
“It is most touching to know that some of the circumcised were former campers of “Camp Gan Yisroel of Kazakhstan!” He added.
