Lifecycle Events

Baby Naming/ Brit Milah

There are few joys that are greater than, as a parent, welcoming a new child into the world.

The bris (for boys) and naming ceremony (for girls) gives families, friends and the entire community the opportunity to celebrate the new life. It is also an important event in marking the entrance into covenant with God and the Jewish people.

Chabad of Closter delights in the birth of each baby in the greater Jewish community. We will facilitate, arrange, assist and familiarize the family with the entire process to make it the experience and the joy it is meant to be.
