Welcome To Our Jewish Community

Expecting? Know someone who is?  Or maybe your family has recently grown by one, or your friends or children are just about to welcome a little one into their lives?  Shalom Baby is an exciting program designed to welcome parents and their newborns and newly-adopted children in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley to our Jewish community. Shalom Baby is also a wonderful way to help new parents find support and build a social connection during this special time in their life.

Shalom Baby provides you with:

• Shalom Baby Gift Bag, full of fun and helpful gifts, information on parenting, and Jewish resources for parents and families, hand-delivered (or mailed) by a wonderful Shalom Baby Ambassador.
• A connection to create lifelong friendships for you and your child.
• Support from caring volunteers.
• A new link to your Jewish Community and heritage.

If you are interested in receiving a complimentary Shalom Baby Gift Bag, please contact Roberta Matz (302) 427-2100 x27 or click here to complete an online form to register for a Shalom Baby packet. This is a wonderful way for you to meet new people, make new friends, and learn about your Jewish Community and the resources available for you.
