The eighth day

USA Today speculates whether Donald Trum will attend his grandson's bris, which should take place on Sunday, April 3.

However, according to Jewish tradition, he cannot have the role of the “sandek,” the person, often a grandfather, who holds the child while it is being circumcised by a mohel (pronounced like “royal”). That job must go to a practicing Jew, said New York City-based Dr. Emily Blake, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who now works full-time as a mohel.

“So unless he’s going to convert very quickly,” joked Blake, “I don’t think he’ll be doing it. He doesn’t want to lose that Christian vote.”

But, she says, he could perform the role of the “kvater,” the person who carries the baby into the room. “The rules on that are a little looser,” she said.

The second video below is the song aderaba which contains the lyrics composed by the Noam Elimelech, whose yahrzheit is today.
"Place in our hearts the ability to see only the good in our friends and not their shortcomings."
