Question

Tomorrow I am having a brit for my firstborn son, and my brother got married yesterday. [At the brit, we prepared special dishes loved by the bride - the new sister-in-law in her honor], and my question is whether to mention in Birkat Hamazon "שהשמחה במעונו", since it is a brit, and also whether to mention "נודה לשמך" or "דוי הסר", which takes precedence? Also, is there an issue of interruption between Birkat Hamazon and the wedding blessings if we add "הרחמן" for the brit milah.

Answer

Shalom Rav, Many mazal tovs and abundant joys. You should mention both the mentions for the brit and for the sheva brachot, and there is no contradiction between them, and no issue of interruption. May you merit to bring him into the covenant of Avraham Avinu and raise him to Torah, chuppah, and good deeds.
