I believe that in order to participate in a Jewish Bris ceremony the mother would have to be jewish as well in order for the baby to be jewish?? I think thats one of the rules. Mom has to be jewish or the babies are not considered jewish.
But I could be soooooo wrong about that.

I think it would depend on the moyl (the person who performs the ceremony-not sure about the spelling) conducting the bris--if they're willing to do it then I suppose its not a problem.

The baby is not considered Jewish if the mother is not Jewish. However, according to the rabbi who married us, something needs to be done right after birth if you want the baby to be Jewish. I think it's something like a blessing.
