Mazal Tov! You are a new parent or about to be! There's so much to do!

If you are having a boy, there are some things to think about. Will your son have a circumcision? And if so, will you have it done in the hospital or at home as part of a Brit Milah?

Typically I work with local mohalim (moyels) and together we would craft a covenantal service welcoming your son into the Jewish people, typically on the 8th day of his life.

 If you are having a daughter, I would work with you to create a covenantal service that would formally welcome her into the Jewish people.

The timing of this naming and covenantal ceremony has more flexibility

but often takes place on day 8 or day 30 of the baby girl's life.
