The days of pregnancy are days of riddle. What is inside the mother's stomach? This nobody knows. Even with all of the means available, we still can't fully grasp the secret of life in the womb, a state so different than our current one. The Talmudic legends ignite our imagination with their amazing descriptions: A spiritual candle lightens the baby's eyes and an angel protects him and teaches him the entire Torah

Nine months later, in the delivery room, we begin to receive answers to our many questions. A tiny body enters this world from a hidden world with cry. But is the riddle really solved then? The Kabbalah teaches us that only the physical body is born in the delivery room. His spiritual soul, etched out of God's Holy Throne, still rests above him, searching for the way "inside"

The moment of the Brit is the completion of the birth, when all at once the spiritual soul and the physical body become one – A Holy Covenant! At this moment the baby is awarded an extra life force and now he is worthy of the name through which his soul's secret will be known throughout his life
