This class offers parents-to-be a traditional childbirth class plus a spiritual, ritual and emotional support network for welcoming a Jewish child into the community. Couples will learn about Brit Milah (ritual circumcision), baby-naming ceremonies, managing the transition from being partners to parents, building a Jewish home and Jewish and secular resources. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and nurture relationships with other expecting couples. This program is partially underwritten by the United Jewish Endowment Fund.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly
used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO!!! What a ride!"
