Congratulations on your new baby! Rabbi Ellen is available to help you craft a Jewish welcoming ceremony for your baby boy or girl that is inspired by tradition and reflects your family.
The birth of a child is such a special, wonderful event. There are many beautiful ways to welcome your new baby into the world. Let me help you create something special for YOUR family in words that are important to you. Whether it's a Bris for a baby boy on the eighth day, a Shalom Ben if the circumcision is done in the hospital, or a Shalom Bat for a new baby girl, let's bring meaning to this important lifecycle event.
We stand in awe before the miracle of birth, the mystery and majesty of life, our own fragility and the power of God. We accept the responsibility of raising our child to maturity. We are overcome with a deep sense of love, joy and happiness. We are grateful to you, God, for all that has transpired and is yet to unfold.
