This program gives families the opportunity to discuss and celebrate the uniqueness of their child’s name. It explores how Jewish/Hebrew names are traditionally chosen and customs associated with Jewish birth and naming ceremonies.
Families will work together to create a “name book” for each child. Each name book will discuss the origins of the child’s name, ways in which the child was initially welcomed into the world, and a record of the child’s Hebrew name. For children who do not have an “official” Hebrew name, the program will serve as a joyous way for families to choose an appropriate name for their child.
