In the past generation, new traditions have been created to name and welcome our daughters into the Jewish community as well. Rabbi Dalia Samansky, a Jen’s Lister, is available to help you create a beautiful ceremony to mark your daughter’s entry into the world (even if that was quite some time ago). She can help you pick a Jewish name for your sweet little bundle as well as create and officiate a ceremony your family will cherish forever. For more information or to schedule your daughter’s baby naming ceremony (which does not need to be on the 8th day), email rabbisamansky@gmail.com.

Special Event Icon Awakening Beauty: Special Workshop For Women


Saturday, September 17th 1-5PM


In the lower belly sits an energy center that is the treasure of women’s beauty and power. When this center is closed one disconnects from her body, inner beauty and suffers in health and intimate relationships.  When this center is open a woman becomes radiant and magnetic. She attracts better partners, wealth and health in life. This workshop will begin to open to the special energy in the lower belly. Through fun and dynamic practices, women feel more beautiful, rejuvenated and joyful.
