Entering the Covenant: Aguilera baby gets bris http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/entering-the-covenant-aguilera-baby-gets-bris/ Enough with the bad news from Amy Winehouse and the Spears sisters. Finally a Mazal Tov in celebrity world: E! News has learned exclusively that new parents Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman held a bris, the Hebrew baby naming and circumcision ritual ceremony, at their Beverly Hills home Sunday. More than a dozen family and friends attended the gathering. Jewish rituals aren’t new to the Bratman family. In 2005, the couple wed in a Jewish ceremony in Napa Valley, California. A bris is typically done on a baby’s eighth day of life, and sure enough, son Max Liron was born Jan. 12. He came home from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this week. The ceremony formalizes the child’s name; his middle name, Liron, means “my song” in Hebrew. Fittingly, Christina is “already singing to Max,” we’re told. en-us aeden@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-01-23T;16:54:52-05:00 Comment by anti-intermarriage@yahoo.com Thanks Morris for your anti-semitic attack againstt Jewish women on a Jewish website no less.  Your views would be highly regarded on neo-nazi sites.  You are a hateful disgusting human being!

So what is she was not born a Jew. Would her husband Jordan be better with some whinning Jap? I think Christina is a Shiksa Mensch.

I will boycott his movies.  Give me a break and stop promoting this self-hater.

And, even if she did not convert - the Bris may have been step one in the conversion of the child. Many Poskim (E.g. Reb Ovadya Yosef) allow an infant to be converted where the mother remains a non-Jew. What makes you think that the mother did not convert?

Aiy ai, Kabbalah, drive-by brisses, this is true blue cut-and-paste American Judaism without Torah. May Moshiach come yesterday.
