Yup. Actually the Gemara talks about this. When Rosh Hashanah is on Thursday/Friday. 2days RH is in the Gemara). So a baby born a week earlier bain hashmashos Wednesday evening has the bris on Sunday at 11 days old and it's called bzmano.


Maybe this is what happened. He def had the bris on chol hamoed sukkos bec I remember
The sukka. But not sure if he was born erev shabbos or erev YT. They had to ask R Chaim what to do, iirc.

How can an 11 day old have his bris on time.


We had a similar question - I was scheduled to have a c-section on Thursday before Pesach on a year that the Seder fell on Wednesday night. We realized that if that baby was a boy (we hadn'd found out) the Bris would be postponed until Sunday - 11th day. We couldn't postpone the birth as it was already 40 weeks and my doctor wouldn't let me go any longer. We asked our Rav what to do and he said we should find out if it's a boy - and then bring the date forward 1 day so the bris ended up being Erev Pesach and Birkas Hachama.

well it must have been in a year in which the calendar setup was same is the gemara discusses since the only way Sukkos can be a three day yt is first day on thurs. Rosh hashana and sukkos can't fall on Sundays Wednesdays and Fridays.

If I recall correctly, this took place two years ago, on Sukkos. I think the kid just turned two.

Does the first question have something to do with Shimshon and the honey that was found in the lion?

I'm so bothered by this.
Does this mean that the mother miscarried, and that's why the son never existed?
And why do we call him a son?
Or is this an illusion- not an actual person??
Please give me a hint!

Yes.
We got:
Aharon and elisheva
Achashverish and esther
Achav and izevel
Noach and Naama.

That's four. Missing two.
