Join a warm community of other parents-to-be exploring what is in our hearts and minds through the lens of Jewish texts and traditions. In these four facilitated discussions, we will delve into Jewish baby welcoming ceremonies, the positive parental figures in Jewish tradition, and what it could mean to be a specifically Jewish parent, leaving room for discussions based in participant interest. These rich conversations will be welcoming and appropriate for participants of any gender and any background, with the goal of fostering an intentional and supportive community during and beyond this period of change.

This class will be held on Monday evenings, October 28–November 18, in person at the Edlavitch DCJCC, from 6:30–8:00 PM. If you have any questions, please reach out to Rabbi Atara at acohen@edcjcc.org.
