One of the most wonderful events that we offer is a Baby Naming Ceremony for the children of couples we have married. This ceremony helps to bring the families of the child and larger community of family and friends together in a way that nothing else can do. Our ceremonies can be all Jewish, all Christian, as well as Interfaith, earth based, any other religion, or no specific religion at all.

A beautiful example of what we have created for this special moment in the lives of the parents and their new child is what we call an Interfaith “Brisening”©, which is a combination of a Jewish Naming Ceremony and a Christian Christening to the World. If it is a boy child, he is circumcised in the hospital by a pediatric surgeon, and then, when the mother has recovered and is strong enough, we do a ceremony in which the boy or girl is given a Hebrew name and welcomed into the covenant of Israel. Then, to honor his or her Interfaith side of the family, he or she is Baptized To The World, where the baby is presented to the family and friends, and a token of a stream of water is placed on his or her head as a sign that it is the child who has blessed all of us. Other children in the family are also honored at these ceremonies.

The ceremony takes about 15 minutes & is a beautiful welcome of a child to his or her family,
extended family and friends.
