This is a box that a mohel would use. In order to be a mohel you will need the objects in the box. The objects that are in the wooden mohel box are a special knife to do a brit, a cloth, and a prayer. This box was originally made in Morocco and originally belonged to my great grandfather. Then it was given to my grandfather, Isaac C, when he became a mohel.

My artifact connects to Jewish heritage because every Jewish 8 day old boy has a brit. A mohel performs the brit and my great grandfather and my grandfather were mohels who performed this mitzvah.
