Last Tuesday we went to Iftach's Brit. Iftach is Inbar and Hemi's son, and a brit is the circumcision ceremony. The Brit was in Beer Sheva. It was a nice gathering of people we had spent the holidays with when we were staying with Thea and Mandi. It was great to see some familiar faces but we also met some of Hemi's family, which was nice for me. I guess Ben had already met them sometime last year. The ceremony was catered and the food was amazing! I was too full by the time the main course came that I couldn't even eat it! The circumcision was interesting and this was certainly the first time I had been to anything of the sort. Iftach was a pretty good sport although I don't think a Brit is really all that fun for a little boy so most of the pictures we got of him were like the one you see above. In a rare moment of serenity beforehand Ben was able to snap the picture of him you see below....so calm, for the moment. It was an emotional time for the family, I think it was a big mix of emotions. It was certainly a lot for Inbar, considering she had the C-Section only a little more than a week before.
The baby is very cute. He has a big head of dark brown hair (which I am sure he will lose soon) and tiny little chicken legs. It was great to get to meet the little one and we had the opportunity much sooner than we expected. We were very happy to have been invited and to be a part of the ceremony. 
While we were in Beer Sheva Ben got his motorcycle license. It's not all that easy and the other guys who took it with him didn't pass, same thing happened with the driving license. It actually is pretty unusual to pass these tests on your first try. Sometimes it takes more than 5 tries! Go Ben!
