Life Cycle Events

Judaism is a religion and a path that teaches us how to enrich each moment of our lives so that they will be worthwhile and meaningful.  In addition to its focus on everyday matters, Judaism also recognizes how certain passages in our lives stand out as peak moments that demand a particular level of kedusha - holiness.  These life cycle events often bring with them monumental changes.  Jewish ritual has mastered how to help us to navigate those changes, whether they are accompanied by joy or sorrow.

Beth Emeth's clergy is available to help you and your family with these changes, whether it is as joyous as a birth or a marriage, or as difficult as the loss of a loved one. Please don’t hesitate to contact us—we want to be of help.

Here is a short guideline for some of those moments. Please know that we are sensitive to and work with all family situations: divorce, single-parent, interfaith couples, interracial, and LGBTQ.
