Name two ceremonies the Jewish parents carried out for their newly born baby boys and mention when each of those ceremonies took place

Answer 1

Jewish parents traditionally carry out two significant ceremonies for their newly born baby boys:

1. Brit Milah (Circumcision): This ceremony is performed on the eighth day after the baby's birth, in accordance with Jewish law. The Brit Milah is a ritual circumcision that symbolizes the covenant between God and the Jewish people.

2. Pidyon HaBen (Redemption of the Firstborn): This ceremony is performed when the baby boy is one month old (30 days) if he is the firstborn child. During this ceremony, the parents "redeem" their firstborn son from a Kohen (a priestly descendent) by giving a small sum of money.

These ceremonies hold deep religious significance and are important rituals in Jewish tradition.
