B’sha’ah Tovah: A Class for Expecting Parents
Saturday, February 11 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

B’sha’ah Tovah* will provide you with opportunities to connect with other expecting parents and to explore both traditional and contemporary ways that Judaism can add meaning to every stage of your journey to parenthood – from anticipating, to welcoming, to celebrating.  

B’sha’ah Tovah is open to Shaare Emeth members and to the broader community.

Questions? Email Rabbi Rachel Bearman.  

*Did you know: The traditional, Jewish response to learning that someone is expecting a child is “B’sha’ah Tovah” which literally means “at a good hour” but is understood to mean “may everything go well and happen at the right time.”

Hi friends,

I promise that your answers to the following questions will be kept private. This information is only being collected to make sure that I can provide the resources that will meet the needs of our specific group. None of these questions are required to register.
B'vrachah (with blessings),
-Rabbi Bearman

1. Every path to parenthood is unique. As I prepare for this class, it’s helpful to know a little bit about our participants’ journeys. If you feel comfortable, please share a brief snapshot of your journey. (For example: Are you or your partner pregnant? Are you working with a surrogate? Are you adopting? Will you be welcoming an older child into your family?)

2. When is your child expected? (I realize that some journeys to parenthood do not have “due dates” or expected dates. Remember that these questions are not required.)

3. Will this be your first child? If not, please tell me about your other children.

4. In 2 sentences or less, please describe your religious identity/identities.

5. What are you most looking for in this workshop? (For example: Connections with other expecting parents, information about ways to welcome children Jewishly, etc.)
