The Reform Approach to Jewish Tradition

Naming a new baby can be an exciting if daunting task. Choosing a traditional Hebrew name for your daughter can foster a strong, warm connection to tradition, and girls' names in Hebrew also reflect many wonderful meanings.

Every week as the sun sets on Friday evening the Jewish holiday of Shabbat begins. 

Brit milah, which means "covenant of circumcision," is a Jewish ritual performed on a baby boy eight days after he is born. 

Passover (also called Pesach, פֶּסַח) is one of the most central holidays in Judaism, and it is celebrated each year in the spring beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan.
