The birth of a baby is perhaps the most joyous, beautiful and miraculous event in life.  It is as if the parents, the family – in fact, the Jewish people everywhere – are bound together as one in celebration of the new life.  It also marks the beginning of a Jewish journey for your child and the entire family and we look forward to sharing that special journey with you.

From selecting a Hebrew name, to planning a Baby Naming, from Parenting Programs to Tot Shabbat in our award winning Pre-School, our Rabbis, teachers and staff want to assist, guide and celebrate with you.  Rabbi Jerry David and Rabbi Geri Newburge are always eager to speak to you about your new baby and welcoming your child in the Jewish tradtion.

The concept of Brit (Covenant) is central to Judaism.  From Abraham and Sarah to our collective experience at Sinai, the theme of brit appears over and over again and has sustained our people.  Our relationship with god and our family is one of partnership and relationship.

As your child enters the covenant, our family embraces your family as we grow together and build warm, rich and good Jewish memories.
