Just remembered how the good sisters used to skirt the issue of circumcision claiming that it was the ceremony after the birth of a child where a woman would be blessed and allowed back into the Temple. She was "unclean" until then and could not leave her home. No mention of bris. Precocious little brat that I was, I pointed out that the Latin meant "cutting around". Ten "Our Fathers" and ten "Hail Marys".
