Shalom Baby

Jewish Federation of Edmonton is thrilled to welcome you and your baby as you embark on this wonderful journey of Jewish parenthood.

May your child bring you much naches (great pride), immense joy, and fill your heart with love.

By extending a hand of friendship to families who have recently welcomed a baby, we invite your family to become an integral part of Shalom Baby and Edmonton’s Jewish community. We connect young families, helping them build social connections and find support. 

Each new life in the Jewish community is welcomed and celebrated with a free Shalom Baby gift bag filled with valuable information, community resources, and gifts for the baby. Every Shalom Baby gift basket is lovingly put together by hand, from us to you, and features contributions from Jewish organizations throughout Edmonton to get your Jewish family off on the right foot.

Connect and Gather

Our parent connector, Jess Zisin, organizes gatherings where families can meet and get to know each other. Please email shalombaby@edjfed.org if you are interested in becoming involved.
