What goes around:
Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliashiv, leader of the powerful Lithuanian religious movement, served as godfather at a Jerusalem brit [sic] Wednesday but suffered a deep cut to his hand, apparently when the mohel slipped.
The 97-year-old sage received stitches and was declared well. The baby was unharmed.
I'd love to meet that Jerusalem Brit, wouldn't you?
