QUESTION: Why Is it that no
special party is made to cele
brate the birth of a girl like one
does for a boy?
ANSWER: Actually, Sephardic
communities are known to have
a special party on Saturday in
honor of a new girl who is born.
This usually takes place on the
Sabbath morning or afternoon
during which the father of the
new girl is called to the Torah
to offer the benedictions and
to have his new daughter named.
It is possible that the reason this
kind of party did not seem to
have been as popular amongst
the Occidental Jews is because
severe episodes like the Cru
sades may have taken their toll
and saddened the lives of Jew
ish families so that many oc
casions of festivity may have
been passed over and almost for
gotten. The reason that the cir
cumcision feast remains was that
the ritual of circumcision is one
of the principal rituals of the
Jewish faith. It is also to be
noted that in modem times many
families do not make any sort
of meal or party after the cir
cumcision of a boy.
QUESTION: Why is it a basic
Jewish tradition to invite guests
to one’s house?
ANSWER: This tradition is

mentioned under the term of
“Hachnossas Orchim” (the re
ception of visitors). The Mishnah
(Peah) regards this as one of
those acts of grace which have
boundless rewards. The tradition
is’ traced in the episode in the
Book of Genesis (18:8) where
Abraham welcomed the dis
guised Angels as travelers of the
human race and invited them to
eat with him. The Talmud tells
us that one should not sit down
to any important meal unless he
has invited some guests to share
the meal with him. Also, it was [
a custom to tarry in order to [
prolong the duration of the meal I
in case visitors or poor people
came to share the meal. The i
respected people of Jerusalem
were known to have spread some
symbol like a cloth in the door
way as a signal to invite passers-
by who were hungry to come in
and share a meal with them.
