Common questions from Connecticut families
How does scheduling work for a Connecticut bris?
Call 215-439-5033 as soon as your son is born — the bris is traditionally on the eighth day, so the date is set by the birth. Rabbi Glantz will confirm travel plans and walk you through everything to prepare.
Is there a travel fee for Connecticut?
Fees depend on distance and timing — call Rabbi Glantz to discuss your specific location. No family is ever turned away for financial reasons.
What should we prepare before the mohel arrives?
Very little: a sturdy table, good lighting, and a few household items Rabbi Glantz will list for you during your pre-ceremony call. He brings all medical and ritual supplies himself.
