Birth

BirthThere is no more important role in life for a parent than raising a child to responsible adulthood and ushering in a new generation. Particular ceremonies incorporate each new baby into the totality of the family and the Jewish people.

These ceremonies include:

  • Naming of the child
  • Brit milah, the Covenant of Circumcision, for a baby boy at eight days, and
  • Pidyon ha-ben, redemption of the first-born male, which takes place 31 days after birth in more religious households

These are festive moments for family and community, and a wonderful time to involve the rabbi and cantor in the celebration, whether the event is held in the synagogue or in the home.
