JBN Birth Circles Continue December 2011 - May  2012

Our first round of birth circles were so much fun, we're doing it again!  Pregnant women, new moms and anyone interested in birth and babies is welcome to come connect, share stories, and ask questions in a supportive, pluralistic environment.  
Come to one or all, monthly in different locations around Boston.  

The January Circle will be Sunday afternoon January 18, at The Leventhal-Sidman JCC in Newton.

Welcome to the Jewish Birth Network, the online hub for soon-to-be and new Jewish parents in the Boston area and beyond.

Picture
Birth may be the one moment in life universally recognized as miraculous, but it can feel like an ordeal of tests, worries and fears.  

Parents can best connect with the miraculous when they are able to make the experience their own, in a context of support and encouragement.  

The Jewish Birth Network sees birth, experienced as miraculous, empowering families  to make confident, thoughtful, individual Jewish parenting choices.  
By helping emerging families learn about birth in general and in a Jewish context, create networks of support, and forge relationships with supportive birth professionals, we hope to invigorate the community with a generation of Jewish children raised in a diverse community of confident, engaged Jewish parents. 

We're just getting started so come take a look around and check back soon to see how we're growing.  Or even better, contact us to see how you can help.
