    My hubby and I are invited to celebrate the birth of a friend's son.  However, we are not Jewish in faith and have never been to a Bris.  Is is customary to bring a gift?  If so, what is an appropriate gift?

    Thank you Bees for all the advice!!!

    You don't have to bring a gift, you can bring a little outfit or something if you choose to bring something.  Kind of like a baptism or christening.

    I usually just use that as a time to bring the baby gift I would have gotten the couple anyway. And I tend to get toys, not clothes, but either is appropriate :)

    I'll just echo what has been said...I usually bring the baby gift I would have gotten anyway to a bris.

    I think it's a nice gesture to bring a gift but certainly not required.  Have fun!  A Bris is definitely a new experience! :)

    Thanks! I admit that I am nervous about the whole circumsion thing.  I'm an ICU nurse and pray that I don't pass out!  It would be quite embarrassing :)

    just stay away from both view and aim of the action area, and you'll be fine ;)
