Let Us Welcome You and Your New Baby to the Jewish Community!
We provide information, resources, and family-friendly programs in your area, with opportunities to celebrate Jewish holidays, traditions, and culture, as well as interact and connect with a community of families with young children.

Where to Begin
If you or your partner identifies as Jewish and have had or adopted a baby in the last seven months, we invite you to sign up for a free virtual Welcome Baby visit!
Our trained visitors will connect with you virtually to share details about local family-friendly programs, events, and activities. You’ll also receive a FREE gift tote, including:
- A subscription to PJ Library® — high quality Jewish children’s books or music delivered monthly to your home.
- High quality baby accessories and toys.
We can’t wait to help you and your family get connected to our community!
What’s Next: In-Person & Virtual Programs for You and Your Baby
Meetups: Join us for fun and supportive in-person meetups for families with young children!
- From stroller walks to park playdates, Welcome Baby meetups are a great way to connect with other new parents and give you and your little ones some socialization. Big siblings are always welcome, too!
Welcome Baby from Home: Looking to connect with other parents and build your Jewish community from the comfort of your own home?
- This program offers free, 6-week virtual sessions for parents of babies 0-3 and 4-12 months old. You’ll learn about your baby’s development and have the opportunity to chat with other parents in the community who are experiencing the same wonderful milestone. Be on the lookout for when this program is offered, and make sure you are on our email list to be notified!
