As we journey through life, there are times when we stop and appreciate the moment. Like rest-stops along the way, each of these moments offers us an opportunity to plan, reflect, celebrate, or remember in the sacred presence of family and friends.

I would be happy to help you plan these moments, giving you the tools to lead them yourselves or leading the event for you.

In either case, I specialize in personalizing Jewish tradition to meet your needs.

• Baby Namings and/or Circumcisions are a chance to welcome a young child into your family and the Jewish community. These are moments of optimism.

• B Mitzvah celebrations offer us the opportunity to celebrate the coming of age of our growing children. These are moments of responsibility.

• Weddings are a celebration of the love shared between two people in the presence of their friends and family. These are moments of immense joy.

• Funerals offer us the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of the life of one who journeyed with us in the shadow of death. These are moments of defining legacy.

• Unveilings provide us with a tender moment to both unveil a tombstone and realize how we have managed since their death. These are moments of proven resilience.

• Anniversary blessings celebrate mature love with friends and family. These are moments of long-lasting love.
