[Avodah] Fwd: Mila and the virus

[Micha Berger]

The Stanislover Rebbe (London branch), R' Uri Ashkenazi, was niftar
today. According to YWN and the email I got from someone who didn't
want to post the question, but invited me to.

RUA was a popular mohel who YWN describes as "performing thousands of
Brissim over the years". And he was nifar of CoVID-19, an illness that
is particularly communicable.

As a quarantining measure, RHSchachter pasqened that we should not
stand on the minhag of having a minyan at a beris. Just the minimum
number of people necessary.

But this petirah made my correspondant and I wonder about sakanah to
the babies.

Maybe we should be thinking like our ancestors did in the midbar, and
wait beyond 8 days until giving a beris is safer? Did any of you hear
someone discuss the question?

Chodesh Tov!
Tir'u baTov!
