JCCNV: You belong here!

The JCCNV offers quality programs all year long for families who want to strengthen their connections with each other and with the community.

The Voice

Shalom Baby

Maybe your family has recently grown by one or your friends are just about to welcome a little one into their lives. Shalom Baby welcomes parents, their newborns and newly adopted children into the Greater Washington Jewish community. If you are interested in receiving a Shalom Baby packet, please contact Brittanie Werbel. This is a wonderful way for you to meet new people, make new friends and learn about your Jewish community and the resources available to you.

Shalom Baby families become part of Growing Jewish Families, a large network of families raising Jewish children in Northern Virginia. As a part of this network, you’ll have access to educational and social opportunities designed to help connect you to the Jewish community in your own backyard.

 

Shalom Baby Play dates at the“J”

Sunday mornings, May 20, June 24, August 26

10am–noon

Calling all Moms and Dads—play dates aren’t just for kids! While the kids play, the grown-ups get to schmooze and meet other families with young children. Come out to the “J” and meet up with old friends and make some new friends, too!  Children ages newborn to 3 years are welcome with their parents!

Play dates are FREE of charge and are held on Sunday mornings from 10am to noon at the JCCNV.

If you know someone who is expecting a child, please let us know so we can officially welcome them into the Jewish community and invite them to be part of the Shalom Baby family. Please contact Brittanie Werbel.

Cost: Free


 

Get Involved—Get Connected

If you are interested in taking a more active role in the planning of activities for Growing Jewish Families, Shalom Baby or The PJ Library please contact Brittanie. It is a wonderful way to meet more people in the community and help turn ideas into action.
