After the Bris:
Some Poskim[1] rule that Tachanun is recited in the Mincha prayer if it is taking place after the Bris. This applies even in the Shul in which the Bris took place and even if the Baal Bris is present by the Minyan and even if the baby is still present. Other Poskim[2], however, rule that Tachanun is omitted in the Mincha prayer even if it is taking place after the Bris, if it takes place near the child [i.e. in the room in which the baby is present]. However, in another area not near the child, Tachanun is to be recited even if the Baal Bris is present by the Minyan.[3] Some Poskim[4] arbitrate that if Mincha is prayed in middle of the meal prior to Birchas Hamazon, then Tachanun is to be omitted while if it is Davened after the meal, then it is to be recited. Other Poskim[5], however, negate this.
