Why Celebrate a Jewish Birthday?
Most of us know the date we were born on the regular calendar, but every person also has a birthday on the Jewish calendar.
A Jewish birthday marks the anniversary of the day your child's soul entered the world. It is a special opportunity to celebrate their unique purpose, strengthen their Jewish identity, and add in goodness and mitzvahs.
Through the Jewish Birthday Club, children learn that their Jewish birthday is meaningful, joyful, and worth celebrating.
Signing up makes sure we have the information needed to celebrate your child.
