The process of creating life and birthing is an amazing experience, but can be overwhelming. Childbirth Through a Jewish Lens is a 3-session class that is appropriate for both first and second time moms. It is also the perfect complement to another birthing class.
In this 3-session course, you will have the opportunity to learn with Rabbi Elaine Zecher of Temple Israel, Boston about welcoming your baby into the Jewish community. Topics will include naming ceremonies, the bris, special blessings, and other Jewish customs. Certified nurse /mid-wife Sarah Kleinman will cover the stages and physiology of labor, preparing for and coping with labor, and dealing with the unknowns. Dinner will be included at all three sessions.
Classes will be held from 6-9:15 pm at Temple Israel Boston, 477 Longwood Ave., Boston. Free-validated parking is available at 375 Longwood Ave. (next to the Temple). Please have your ticket validated at the temple front desk.
