My father bought a travel guide to Israel before our trip this fall without reading it first. I forget which company it was from, but it was one of the major ones. We were both rather shocked at how Christian it was. It contained detailed information about churches and Christian sites, but barely anything on Jewish sites. Even the Jewish sites it mentioned it discussed with a remarkable degree of offensiveness -- in talking about one chair in a synagoge in Tzvat (I think) that has traditionally been used for circumsions for hundreds of years, the guide said something about how "disgusting" it would be to sit there.
It's called "Eliyahu's Chair" and the Sandek ("godfather") sits there and holds the infant on his lap.
My grandson's bris was in Tzefat several weeks ago but was held at Yeshivat Tseirei Hashluchim not at this synagogue.
