Bris Milah: No Grandparents?

I have a question: if a married couple converted to Judaism and later has a son, how would the Brit Milá be handled, considering there would be no Jewish grandfather to participate? Thank you very much in advance.

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

A bris is held regardless of the status or presence of the grandparents or any other relatives.

It is a mitzva upon the father to circumcise his son. This consists of appointing a mohel and honoring someone ( a good and righteous man) as the “Sandak” – the one who holds the baby during the bris. That’s all that is truly vital . It is important that a festive meal be held to celebrate the event.

Once again, it is of no practical importance if the grandparents do not attend. In fact, according to halacha, one who converts “is compared to a newborn baby.” One of the interpretations of this teaching is that one who converts is considered to have no biological relatives at all!
