Question
In which prayers is Tachanun not recited on the day of a Brit Milah?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
In Shacharit, Tachanun is not recited either in the synagogue where the Brit Milah is held or in the minyan where the father of the child, the mohel, or the sandak prays.
In Mincha, if the prayer is before the meal or during the meal, and they pray in the place where the Brit is held, Tachanun is not recited. If the prayer is after the Brit, everyone recites Tachanun, except for the father of the child, the mohel, and the sandak, who do not recite Tachanun all day, as it is like a Yom Tov for them.
