Jewish Baby Network
Beth Am and partner congregation, Kol Emeth, launched Jewish Baby Network (JBN) in 2013 to connect expectant parents and new families (with babies up to age 2), to each other and to Jewish life. JBN offers playgroups, classes, welcome bags, special events and an online forum. Participating families rave about how the program has introduced them to new friends, motivated them to incorporate Jewish traditions into their new babies' lives and provided resources to help navigate life as a new parent within the larger Jewish community. Learn more at jewishbabynetwork.org. Join the JBN email list here. Jewish Baby Network is now a program of JFCS.
The Seiler Family Fund for Youth & Young Families Engagement funds staff, scholarships and programs that engage youth and families with young children in the community of Congregation Beth Am. Please consider making a donation to this fund in honor or memory of a loved one.
