Shmuel’s Bris in Moldova

Thirteen year-old Shmuel attends a Jewish school in Kiev, Ukraine, and the rabbi spoke about the portion Lech Lecha that Avraham was circumcised at the age of 99. And in the portion of Vayeira, our forefather Isaac entered the covenant of Abraham our forefather, and was very excited to be part of the special nation that has a Jewish seal, and asked to be part of saying the Holy One, blessed be He, walked before me and was pure in making the covenant. On Sunday he received parental consent for the bris and the mohel boarded the first plane to fly to Moldova and traveled by car for about eight hours in order to entitle Samuel to the great mitzvah without leaving a Jew one day without a bris.

After the circumcision, the young man called his mother (the parents live 7 hours away from Kiev and were not able to participate in the celebration) and told her that from now on his name is Shmuel.
