The NY Times has an an article about how some families are turning a bris into a wedding-like affair (for anyone who doesn't know what a bris is: it's the Jewish ritual where the boy babies get circumsized, 8 days after we're born, by an old Jewish man who is specially trained -- and I believe even licensed -- to circumsize babies). Pretty ridiculous, but lots of talk of food, so that's good. In a show I was in at Princeton, there was a short piece (that I didn't write, but was funny anyway) about Mike Tyson performing a bris. This was shortly after he bit that other boxer's ear. Use your imagination.
