Baby Blessings

At Harlow & Chelmsford Jewish Community, we mark together some of the most meaningful moments of our life - birth, coming of age, marriage and, sadly, death. Our Rabbi is here to help celebrate these key events in a meaningful and personal manner. Together we look for liturgy that speaks to us and expresses our feelings at this point in our lives. 

When a baby is born, its birth is celebrated through a baby blessing, welcoming the baby to our community and to the community of Jews world-wide. Our Rabbi can advise parents of a baby boy on Brit Milah (circumcision) and put them in touch with a medically trained mohel in the UK.
