For B'rit Milah (literally, "the covenant of circumcision"), newborn males are circumcised at 8 days old and are thus "brought into the Covenant of Abraham" (Gen. 17:10-14). This b'rit binds the newborn to his people. The b'rit is widely practiced even among Reform Jews, although they questioned it for a period. The ceremony is accompanied by a celebratory meal.

A general term to describe the act of cutting off the prepuce or foreskin of the penis or the labia minor of females, practiced as a religious rite or as a hygienic measure.
