Brit shalom (naming ceremony)

Brit shalom (Hebrew: ברית שלום; "Covenant of Peace"), also called alternative brit, brit ben, brit chayim, brit tikkun, or bris in Yiddish and Ashkenazi Hebrew, refers to a range of naming ceremonies for Jewish families that involve rejecting the traditional Jewish rite of circumcision.

Brit shalom is recognized by secular Jewish organizations affiliated with Humanistic Judaism like the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, Congress of Secular Jewish Organizations, Reconstructionist Judaism, and Society for Humanistic Judaism. Liberal Judaism generally recommends circumcision but allows Rabbis that do not to teach. Reform Judaism encourages all Jews (beyond extraordinary circumstances) to undergo circumcision, although some reform congregations will allow those who are not to participate in Jewish life and have since 1892.
