If the child is delivered by Cesarean operation, however, the Brit may not be held on a Sabbath or holiday. Postponement for convenience or for any reason other than health of a child is a violation of the Jewish Law. If there is the slightest possibility of danger to the child, the Brit MUST be postponed until such time as all signs of danger subside. A postponed Brit, however, may not take place on a Sabbath or a holiday. The Brit may be held only during the daytime.
Circumcision can take place at home, synagogue or social halls with complete safety.
