Recently, socialites Michael and Julianne Wainstein hosted a bris at a tony Meatpacking District space with a powerful guest list, a special drop-in from Israel’s chief rabbi, and catering by TriBeCa’s Morimoto restaurant.

My first question: Was that restaurant’s famed chef, Masaharu Morimoto, asked to slice and dice anything besides fatty tuna?

My second question: Will bris jokes ever get old?
