Questions

Good to know.

Who can receive a box?

Any Jewish baby boy born in the Montreal area, one box per baby. Twins receive one box each.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is nothing to pay and no donation expected.

When should I apply?

Any time after your son is born. The sooner you apply, the more pickup times you'll have before the bris.

What if the bris is postponed?

It happens often. Apply anyway and pick a time that suits you; you can change it from your confirmation email.

Can someone else pick it up?

Of course. Any family member or friend can collect it with your confirmation email.
