I have frequently heard people wish a newborn baby boy that he "merit an on-time circumcision". Now, in general, an on-time circumcision is performed if the baby is healthy enough, and is not performed if the baby is not healthy enough. And that's certainly a good enough reason to wish the baby an on-time circumcision. But is there another reason? Specifically, is there some spiritual benefit attached to having (or having had) an on-time circumcision?

Why an on-time circumcision?
I have frequently heard people wish a newborn baby boy that he "merit an on-time circumcision". Now, in general, an on-time circumcision is performed if the baby is healthy enough, and is not performed if the baby is not healthy enough. And that's certainly a good enough reason to wish the baby an on-time circumcision. But is there another reason? Specifically, is there some spiritual benefit attached to having (or having had) an on-time circumcision?
