Kane Baby Naming
We are thrilled that CBJ members Rachel and Michael Kane will bring their daughter into our sanctuary on Shabbat morning of May 4th, to officially be welcomed into the covenant and to receive her Hebrew name.
The service begins at 9:30 am, and the covenental/naming ritual will occur during the Torah service (which will begin no later than 10:30 am).
Everyone is welcome to join us in the sanctuary for this simcha/joyous moment, and to celebrate afterward at the Seudat Mitzvah/Feast of the Mitzvah, as Rachel and Michael are sponsoring the Kiddush for everyone celebrating with their family on this momentous day.
