A Bris is Just a Bris

Since Lilith is Jewish, their new child Frederick is to be circumcised. It is a bris and everyone is invited to the ceremony. But the whole gang, including Frasier, chickens out at first. It's kind of funny. The subplot is a retirement party for a very dull man. Soon the two events jibe in the pool room.

Trivia
It is learned in this episode that Lilith is Jewish and Fraiser was raised non-religious. These themes carry over into the spin-off series "Frasier".

Goofs
Woody claimed to have had smallpox as a child. The last case of smallpox in the US was in 1949, long before Woody was born.

Quotes
Cliff Clavin: [in comparison to a Jewish bris] The original rites of passage started with the jungle tribes down there in Borneo.
Norm Peterson: Yeah?
Cliff Clavin: When the young jungle tribal lad was on the brink of puberty, they'd bring him forward and take out this large sharpened clam shell...
Sam Malone: Oh, no, no, no don't tell me...
Cliff Clavin: ...they would fill it with dip, pass it around with the hors d'oeuvres...
Sam Malone: Oh.
Cliff Clavin: ...then they'd take these two big jagged rocks in there...
Norm Peterson: Cliffy, Cliff, Cliff...
Cliff Clavin: ...and bang them together to call in the tribes out of the hills, you know. Then the witch doctor stepped up with this long sharpened bamboo staff...
Sam Malone: Oh, here it comes.
Cliff Clavin: ...and shoved it into the ground, hung a flag on it and they danced around it, pretty much, until they dropped, really.
Sam Malone: Oh, wait... When do they circumcize the kid?
Cliff Clavin: What do you mean circumsize? There are no Jews in Borneo, you moolyak.
