The arrival of a daughter is a moment of wonder, joy, and possibility. In Jewish life, welcoming a baby girl is an opportunity to pause, gather, and mark the beginning of her story within our people. While older traditions did not always make space for formal ceremonies for girls, today families have the freedom to create a beautiful and meaningful way to introduce their daughter to Jewish life.

A baby naming is a chance to celebrate who she is and who she may become. Together, we can shape a ceremony that reflects your family’s spirit, values, and hopes, including the selection of her Hebrew name and how she will be known in the Jewish world. The gathering can be intimate or festive, traditional or contemporary, and may include blessings, personal reflections, music, and the voices of those who love her most.

There is no single timeline that fits every family. Some choose to hold a naming within the first weeks of birth, others wait for a symbolic date on the Jewish calendar, and many simply choose a day when family and friends can come together. However and whenever you do it, the purpose is the same: to welcome your daughter with intention, warmth, and community as she begins her Jewish journey.
