Q. See questions above. What are indeed the correct ceremonies & Hebrew blessing for new baby girl?.
A. The naming of a Jewish daughter is a most profound spiritual moment. The naming ceremony is most often linked to the public reading of the Torah. During the Torah reading, a special "Mi Sheberach" blessing is said. The blessing begins with a prayer for the mother's health. It continues with the giving of the baby's name – and a prayer that this new Jewish daughter should grow to be a wise and understanding Jewish woman of goodness and greatness.
The baby naming is traditionally followed by a "kiddush" in honour of the baby girl, where friends and relatives gather to share good food, speak words of Torah, and share the family's profound joy.
