Naming Ceremony.

We offer a traditonal Sephardic naming ceremony for newborn girls, also known as zeved habat. It is usually celebrated within the first month after her birth. Rabbi Bittan officiates at the official name-giving prayer

Pidyon Haben.

When a family is blessed with the birth of a firstborn son (through natural birth, not C-section; also excludes the son of a mother or father from a levi or kohen family) the ceremony known as pidyon haben offers the father the opportunity to redeem the infant from the kohen. It is a very meaningful ceremony that takes place 30 days after the firstborn son's birth. Em Habanim can be of assistance making the arrangements to meet the requirements of this special celebration.
