The birth of a child is one of the most joyous moments in the parents’ lives and in the lives of the community. The newborn infant is the embodiment of our hope for the future and for renewal. Judaism responds to the emotions of birth with a series of ceremonies. Here at CSI, we are always excited when a little one joins the family.

Throughout one's life, we celebrate many happy occasions (Simchas). On the pages listed below, we describe these joyous life cycle events and how CSI helps to celebrate them.
