Godmother Kvatter (male) and Kvatterin (female). This couple (not necessarily husband and wife) brings the baby into the room where the brit will take place. They are colloquially known as the godparents. It is not necessary to fill both roles. :
Godfather Kvatter (male) and Kvatterin (female). This couple (not necessarily husband and wife) brings the baby into the room where the brit will take place. They are colloquially known as the godparents. It is not necessary to fill both roles. :
Sandek This is the most honored role. The Sandek holds the baby while the brit is performed. The Sandek should be a Jew who can testify that the brit was performed in accordance with Jewish law. While traditionally, the Sandek is a male, there is no reason a woman cannot be a Sandek. The high esteem in which the Sandek is held is manifested by a position of honor standing next to the chair of Elijah. Traditionally, this role is given to a grandfather. In some communities, it is customary to give the rabbi this honor. And some suggest that the father of the child should himself be the Sandek, for since the mitzvah to circumcise the child is incumbent upon him, he should assist in the ceremony in every way possible. This is the custom in many Sephardic communities. :
