MINSK, Belarus – 14 boys at the Gan Israel Summer Camp near Minsk joined the covenant of Abraham with G-d as they underwent a circumcision ceremony. The Camp staff headed by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Deutch had been explaining to the campers the great importance of fulfilling this commandment.

Dr. Ishaya Shafit, a mohel from Brit Yosef Yitzchak of Moscow, arrived in Minsk to carry out this ceremony with great professionalism, as he always does. The young men are comfortable and say proudly that from now on G-d has 14 more faithful allies.
