Make a Name for Yourself: a Communal Jewish Naming Ritual

  • SIJCC 1110 Bates Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90029 United States (map)

We invite you to witness and celebrate a beautiful ritual of naming. Whether you are supporting a loved one, curious about the process, or simply want to experience a meaningful moment of Jewish community, you are welcome.

This special Shabbat morning gathering is for those who are receiving, reclaiming, or changing their Jewish name, guided one-on-one by Rabbi Kerry. Together, as a community, we will honor and celebrate these names in a communal ritual led by Rabbi Kerry and our SIJCC B Mitzvah Mentors—Rabbi Ye’ela, Marnina, and David.

If you’ve ever been curious about Jewish naming traditions, our B Mitzvah program, or the mentors who guide it, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect and learn.
