How is that happening? We need a minyan, plus baby is 11...and is it even safe?

I'm wondering too.I don't know if having boy or girl. If boy, A) shalom zachor B) Bris.

How do we go about it? Might have baby this week or next.

I don't think that people will have a Shalom Zachor or invite the community to a bris.

Shalom zachor doesn't need a minimum.

Bris can be in a large living room (if you have) with the 10 men spread apart. Everyone must be super hygienic.

Shalom zachar with 1-2 ppl.

Minyan for bris. Packaged food to go. I guess you need to bench together, maybe eat outdoors if possible.

Technically, you do not need a minyan for a bris, it’s just better if you do. We did not have a minyan for our son’s (for other reasons). Contact your rabbi. These are certainly special circumstances worth discussing.

I've been wondering if I need to ask rov about shalom zachor just in case.. Chabad. Bris I'm actually happy that we wouldn't need a crowd.
Hopefully a girl and won't have to worry about either, but def will be happy with a boy too.

My good friend just had a boy last week. They skipped the shalom zachor and had the bris in their backyard with 10 men, siblings and that's it.
This is in a city with NO community spread as of yet. A majority of people here are taking things seriously and bh being extremely cautious.
I am flabbergasted as to what I hear is going on on the East Caost. It's ok to have no shalom zachor and a small bris. The baby will not be traumatized from this!!!

Due iyh in a few weeks with a boy.

I'm actually happy that I will be able to make a small bris, immediate family with 10 men spread out and seuda in backyard. Literally planning on buying 1 bagel and spread platter And coffee .

Money is tight and now I dont need to spend it on a bris to feed my whole neighborhood.

Shalom zachor im assumi ng will be my family and parents.
