Our Sages taught us that women are more similar to the Creator than men. Just as G-d created the earth, it is the woman who bears children. Just as G-d provides the world with its sustenance, it is the woman who embodies the nurturing nature so vital for sustaining life. And it is the Jewish mother who conveys the Jewish status and birthright upon her child, ensuring the future of the entire Jewish people. Tradition tells us that a newborn girl is considered "complete" with regard to the spiritual benefits attained through a Brit Milah.
