The Jewish Birth Network

Birth may be the one moment in life universally recognized as miraculous, but it can feel like an ordeal of tests, worries and fears.
Parents can best connect with the miraculous when they are able to make the experience their own, in a context of support and encouragement.
The Jewish Birth Network sees birth, experienced as miraculous, empowering families to make confident, thoughtful, individual Jewish parenting choices.
By helping emerging families learn about birth in general and in a Jewish context, create networks of support, and forge relationships with supportive birth professionals, we hope to invigorate the community with a generation of Jewish children raised in a diverse community of confident, engaged Jewish parents.
