This is the newly updated and expanded second edition, with even more ideas for
Jewish ways to celebrate the arrival of your bundle of joy. With new artwork and
an expanded section on the changing Jewish family, The New Jewish Baby Book
remains the best one-volume companion for new parents - and their extended
families.
The New Jewish Baby Book is a complete guide to customs and
rituals for welcoming a new child to the world and into the Jewish community,
and for commemorating this joyous event in family life -- whatever your family
constellation. The only book of its kind, The New Jewish Baby Book is
unlike any other baby book on your nightstand. Not only because it includes a
complete description of brit milah, the covenant of circumcision, or because it
contains a comprehensive guide to brit bat, covenants for daughters, or a
discussion about Jewish adoption.
What sets this book apart is not the fact that several ceremonies are laid
out for easy copying, so your guests can follow and participate. Nor is it due
to the special section for interfaith families to help make the celebrations
inclusive and joyous for all, new ceremonies for daughters. What makes this book
unique is in its reverence for the awe and mystery of becoming a parent.
