Having a

BabyBrit Milah - Jewish
tradition requires that a baby boy be circumcised on the eighth day of
life, provided that there are no health concerns. Please contact a mohel, who is specially trained to perform this mitzvah. Our
offices have the contact information for some of our local mohalim.
You are invited to celebrate your son's brit milah in one of
our many beautiful synagogue spaces. In addition, all necessary rooms
(social halls, sanctuaries, etc.) can be reserved by contacting our

or visit them on the web: www.eventsbypremierinc.com In addition, our rabbi can help
you celebrate this milestone by co-officiating with the mohel
and offering words of blessing. They can also help to determine if a
pidyon ha-ben (redemption of the first-born) ceremony is
necessary.
Baby Naming - In recent years, Jewish tradition has embraced a series of innovative naming ceremonies that officially welcome a baby girl into the Jewish People. These include: a baby naming by being called to the Torah during a Shabbat morning service, or a separate simchat bat ceremony which can be officiated by Rabbi Jonathan Berkun. To schedule a baby naming at the Torah during Shabbat services, please contact Suzanne at 305-935-0666 ext 213 or email Suzanne@atjc.org .
