Jewish baby naming ceremony for girl?




Jackie


What should I plan on for the naming ceremony? Does it cost much to have it at a synagogue. My husband and I don't go to the synagogue on a regular basis and neither of us have been to a naming ceremony so were sort of clueless.


Answer
If you are members of the synagogue it is covered as part of your membership. A gift to the synagogue (cash) in honor of the naming would be nice. If you are naming the child after a relative then you give the donation in honor of that person as well as the baby.

If you are not members of the synagogue then you need to talk to the Rabbi and administrator. You will not get a freebie like members do.

What is an appropriate gift for a new Jewish baby?

My husband's friends are Jewish and expecting their second baby in a few weeks (a girl). I'm kind of ignorant, but I'm unsure what to get them as a gift. Any suggestions?


Answer
ANY baby gift. A soft toy, baby clothes, etc.
