What’s in a Name- Welcoming Your
Jewish Children!


Naming your child is one of the first and lasting things you do. As Jewish parents, you’re also tasked with giving your child a Hebrew name. Finding a name that honors your ancestors & speaks to your modern sensibilities can be challenging. Rabbi Dalia Samansky can help you and officiate at a personalized welcoming & naming ceremony for your daughter/son(if he didn’t have a public bris). Already have a child? Many daughters are blessed at their 1st birthday celebration(or later). Having a boy & planning to have a public bris? Rabbi Dalia is also available to help pick the perfect Hebrew name. A portion of each naming will be donated to tzedakah(charity) in your child’s honor. Email rabbisamansky@gmail.com or call 310.415.8112 for more info.
