PJ Library Jewish Pregnancy Series
PJ Library Jewish Pregnancy Series
Tuesdays – March 10, March 24 & April 14
7:00 – 8:15 p.m. at JFCS Golden Valley
If your family is expecting a new Jewish baby soon, join one or all of PJ Library’s Jewish Pregnancy Series events this spring. Meet other expecting parents — your future “village” — with plenty of time for snacks and schmoozing!
Tues, March 10: Customs & Crafting
Explore Jewish traditions around pregnancy and birth. Create your own Jewish protection amulets through beading and collage.
Tues, March 24: Mohels & Mocktails
Learn about Jewish rituals for welcoming a Jewish baby (of any gender!). Enjoy a delicious DIY mocktail inspired by Jewish herbalist traditions and the symbolic Seven Species.
Tues, April 14: Home & Heart
Discuss meaningful, accessible ways to weave Jewish values into your home and your baby’s daily rhythms. Decorate a custom mezuzah cover for the doorpost of your home or baby’s room.
These events are FREE and open to pregnant people and, optionally, their partners. First-time and seasoned parents are welcome. There is no “wrong” way to be Jewish here – the PJ Library community represents all levels of Jewish observance, all denominations, all or no synagogue affiliations, all genders and sexualities, and all multifaith families.
