Eight Days Of Milah

DAF HASHAVUA

In the Piyut of Echod Mi Yodea it says Shemoinoh Yemei Milah eight days of Milah.

(based on the gemoro Eruvin 40b)

The meforshim ask , There is only one day of Milah on the eight day, and

not eight days of Milah.

I heard an answer from R. Chaim Kanievsky Shlita.

There is an obligation not to make a Bris before the eight day,* therefore there are

eight days of Milah . The first seven days to make sure not to do

the Bris and on the eight day to do it.

*many poskim hold that you weren’t  yotzei mitzvahs milah.
