About this listen

Jacob weaves together ancient wisdom and modern parenthood in this exploration of Jewish baby welcoming ceremonies. Drawing from his experience as a father of five, he tackles the delicate balance of honoring tradition while creating space for contemporary family needs. The episode flows from practical ceremony planning to deeper reflections on meaning and connection, incorporating a touching personal story about his son's bris where his brother-in-law mispronounced the name. Jacob's approach emphasizes flexibility within tradition, encouraging parents to find their authentic path whether through traditional brit milah, contemporary simchat bat, or innovative naming ceremonies. His wisdom shines through particularly when discussing interfaith families and ways to blend traditions meaningfully.
