BABY DEDICATIONS
I take
great joy and pleasure in dedicating babies! I am so proud of
parents who wish to make a public statement of their intentions
towards their child, sharing their hopes and dreams and goals with
family and friends. Usually, we do the dedication at the home of
the parents, or sometimes at a grandparent’s home. I write a
personalized ceremony for each dedication which communicates
your
wishes and desires for your child to the special guests at the
dedication. I also can include older children, a bigger brother or
sister, who can actively participate in their own dedication.
I recently did a “baby
dedication” for two sisters, one was 20 years old and one was 22
years old. These girls said they had never had a time in their
life that they could point To where they felt like they had made
their “connection” to God. Other of their friends had either been
Confirmed, or Bah Mitzvah, or Dedicated. They wished to
have that
moment in their lives, to provide a foundation - a place where they
could return, in their mind - when they needed comfort, or
stability, or wisdom, or refuge. It’s a big, scary world out
there! And it helps to know that we have some power in our life to overcome the obstacles and be happy and successful!
