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. Enjoy 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.”
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.

You can make a charitable gift in their honor when you donate to Shalom Baby. Provide the name and address of the person you would like to honor and we'll mail them a special card telling them of your gift.
The mitzvah of connecting all these new moms who immediately have a great support system amongst themselves and all the wonderful programs you have for them … it is so amazing !
Shalom Baby has a special place in my heart. It was a life saver for me not just with my first, but with all three of my kids. I made friends that will last a lifetime and that supported me when I needed it the most.
"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!"
