The circumcision and the naming

Rabbi Paysach Krohn performed the slicing and dicing. Rabbi Serge Lippe (from our Synagogue) performed the easy part: the naming ceremony.

This photo shows the mohel as he is getting prepared for the surgery. He contributed witty commentary throughout the event, including a moment when his father presented Alex to his table head first. R. Krohn's response: I'm not a dentist; I'm a mohel... I need the other end.

He also says that he hopes to see us again in two years. We agree.
