Baby Naming

When a baby girl is given a Hebrew name, both parents are invited to the bimah for this endearing ceremony, which is held during our Shabbat morning Torah service. Families are asked to co-sponsor the Kiddush that day as part of the celebration. 

Our clergy is available to assist Temple Emanu-El members with all lifecycle events, in support of you and your family: To celebrate with you in times of joy and to guide you in moments of struggle, from the beginning of life to its inevitable culmination.

Families must be a member of Temple Emanu-El to celebrate a lifecycle with us. 

Chareen Kramer, Executive Assistant to Clergy,  will be happy to assist in the coordination of any lifecycle event. Please call 201-750-9997 ext 207 or email her at  kramer@tecloster.org.

Step into the sanctuary of Temple Emanu-El and find solace, connection, and purpose waiting for you today.
