Entering the Covenant of Abraham in the Hometown of Abraham

A brit milah ceremony is always an exciting time for a family,
and especially so when it takes place in Hebron. Abraham and Sarah, the 
Patriarch and Matriarch of monotheism lived in the city and are buried in the
Cave of Machpela. Today, the towering Herodian structure that sits atop of cave,
serves as the perfect location to hold this special ceremony. 



Every year, hundreds of families usher their newborn baby boy into the covenant of
Abraham at this holy location. The Tomb of Machpela synagogue has everything needed
for the ceremony including the “Elijah chair,” cushions, and staff ready to assist
in all technical matters.



It is also possible to combine a special tour of Hebron for the family after the
brit milah ceremony.

See you at the celebration!
