Milah on Shabbos: Does Artificial Insemination Delay the Bris? — Rabbeinu Chananel’s Girsa
When a baby is conceived through artificial insemination, and the birth falls on Shabbos, a halachic question arises: Is the bris milah held on the following Shabbos or postponed to Sunday? In this episode, we explore the critical girsa of Rabbeinu Chananel that frames the entire discussion. This is a deep dive into classic text, nuanced lomdus, and real-world halacha.
