Welcoming Baby: Brit Bat and Brit Milah
Mazel tov! A new child is the greatest of blessings. We want to celebrate with you and your family.
Brit Bat
Naming ceremonies usually happen in private homes but can also take place at Temple by reservation. Our rabbi meets with families planning a baby naming to answer any questions, discuss your celebration, and help in the selection of a Hebrew name.
Brit Milah
For families celebrating a brit milah, we can connect you with physicians on island or mohelim (people who perform circumcisions) from outside Oahu, provide clergy to mark this sacred occasion, and even offer space for the ceremony.
Use of Temple Emanu-El space for baby welcoming ceremonies is free for Temple members. Interested in joining? Learn more about membership here.
