baby boy on the 2nd day of Sukot (Yom Tov Sheni shel<BR>galuyot). Normally the

Tov Sheni shel Galuyot.<BR>The question is as follows: The birth was not natural
rather it was a C-section.<BR>When is the Berit Milah?<BR>On Simhat Torah, Yom
Tov Sheni Shel Galuyot or on the next day which is Hol.<BR>Please provide all

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" size=4>The following I know to be a fact,
but fails to answer the question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" size=4>If a baby was delivered by
C Section on Shabbos, his bris would be the following Sunday (the baby's
9th day). Only a Bris of a natural birth can take place on Shabbos. With
that reasoning, I would surmise that the Moyel would feel justified in this case
to perform the bris on Chol.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
