Jewish Life-Cycle

The Jewish Life-Cycle
Pregnancy, birth, baby-namings, brit milah (circumcision), b’nai mitzvah, weddings, divorce, and funerals mark unique moments in time in the life of a Jewish person. JCP is here to support you on your life journey.
We have relationships with clergy of many different backgrounds, religious orientations, and perspectives and would be happy to meet with you to support you and/or your family as you transition through one of these life events.
