    Goldie – Sephardim also name after the deceased. My daughter is named after her grandmother A’H, that passed away many years ago. It is just done out of respect for the parents. I just went to a Brit, where the baby was named after the mother’s father who just passed away a few weeks ago. It was very emotional.

    Never heard of that one, ames. My ashkenaz grandma just didn’t sweep after dark and my mother mentioned it to me and I always wanted to know if anyone else ever heard of it and what was the reason for it??

    In order to make a Bris on Shabbos, it must be that it is the 8th day from birth. In the case where the Bris is delayed (for whatever reason), the Bris is no longer ‘Bizmano’ (In it’s proper time). Although you are correct that it should be done as soon as possible, once it is not Bizmano, is is not something that you can be Michallel Shabbos for.

    Keep in mind, that really any Bris would be considered Chillul Shabbos, and only bcause of the Mitzva to do it specifically then, are you allowed (and supposed) to do it. Since a C section is not neccesarily when the baby would have naturally been born, you are not allowed to be Michallel Shabbos to make the Bris the following Shabbos, and must wait for Sunday.

    “why do the sfardim name after the living while the askanazim hold that to be wrong? is it not the sfardim who are more afraid of ayin hara?”

    Actually, if you don’t name after a parent (Sephardic) he/she starts getting nervous…”you waiting for me to die and then name after me?”
