Bris Planning in Crown Heights

Posted: Wed, Feb 08 2012, 3:50 pm Post subject: Bris Planning in Crown Heights

Can anyone offer some information on Bris planning in Crown Heights?

Every bris I've been to around here has been catered by bunch of bagels. Are there other places who do bris planning? Do they set everything up or do you need to hire someone else to set up and buy the paper/plastic/baked goods? Prices?

1. Which halls or shuls are available for renting out and what are the price ranges?

2. Any recommendations for a mohel? Preferably someone who uses a straw for suction.

3. Is there a gemach where an outfit and pillow can be borrowed?

Thanks in advance for any advice Smile

Creme d'loxe also cateres. Look in Tzach.

Most shuls do not want such simchas because it's messy. If you take Rabbi Shain for the mohel, he will give you the shul for free.

thanks chocolate!

If you use Rabbi Shain as the mohel, you can use his shul for cheap or nothing. We had a shabbos bris in our home and Rabbi Shain was the mohel. He was great.
