Shalom Baby is the LFJCC’s way of welcoming all beautiful bubbelehs to our family! Through playgroups
and baby book clubs, Shalom Baby celebrates our youngest members. Please click here to view our many
programs including infant massage, resource guides, and sleep solutions classes. Bubbies will want to get
in on the fun too, showing off their bundles of joy at our many social events.
Bubbelehs is a Yiddish term of endearment used to describe young ones—similar to “sweetie” and often
used by doting Jewish grandmothers known affectionately as bubbies.
Calling all crawlers and walkers!
Is there a litle one in your house who might benefit from getting out those shpilkes? Might that make
nap time less of a struggle?
If so, Shalom Baby’s: Together, You & Me! is for you. Every Wednesday and Friday, our youngest community members have an opportunity to enjoy music, stories, and movement. These 30-minute classes are fun for all. Fridays have a special focus on Shabbat with (flameless!) candles and Shabbat songs.
“It’s been 10 years since I first read my daughters Much, Much Better. I saved it in a special box along with many other books we enjoyed as part of the PJ Library program. I keep them because I know they’ll want to read these special stories to their own children someday.”– Sarah Mastrianni
Sarah’s sentiment surely resonates with all of our families who participate in the PJ Library—an organization sending “free, award-winning books that celebrate Jewish values and culture to families with children from birth through 12 years old.” Click here to learn how to sign up and start making memories
with your little readers. If you’re already part of the program, click here to add to our virtual photo album; share your favorite titles along with a picture of your favorite librarians… maybe even in their favorite pajamas.
We are so proud to know that over the last two decades, more than 5,000 San Diego families have been welcomed, connected and embraced through our programs. We have journeyed alongside you, commemorating milestones in your babies' lives and those of your family. Please give today and make a difference for generations to come.

"I am so grateful for Shalom Baby. I met my best friends through the group, and our kids will be lifelong friends. The support and friendship from other new moms were incredible during such an overwhelming time. Having a supportive Jewish community has been so special for our family. Thank you, Judy and Vivien, for creating this amazing program!"
"I cannot tell you how much this mom's group has meant to me and done for me. It has been amazing. What you give the moms here is really wonderful. I am so grateful. I should also add that Shalom Baby was SUCH a lifesaver for me with Ari and I made some of my dearest friends through the program. We are all still very close, with about 10 of them coming to our baby sprinkle for baby #2! Thank you for all that you do to connect us moms"
"It was so nice to meet other moms with babies the same age as Sophie’s group and I’m so grateful to Shalom Baby for all of my best girlfriends. Getting so excited for baby girl to join us soon! Hope you are both doing well!"
