In honor of our baby girl, Shterna Sarah : Kiddush Luncheon in Shul sponsored by Rabbi & Aliza Krivisky Mazal Tov!  This Shabbos we will be honoring 7 week old Shterna Sarah Krivisky with the traditional Shabbat Kiddush for baby girls.   Why do we celebrate the birth of a Jewish girl this way? Jewishness is passed on via the mother. If the mother is Jewish, the child is 100% Jewish.  It was decided by G-d, as recorded in the Torah. Jewish identity passes through the mother, as universally accepted by Jews for 3,000 years. From the fact that Jewishness goes by the mother, we see that the woman is entrusted with the awesome duty of instilling faith in G-d, observance of Mitzvot, and Jewish pride. Metaphorically, the mother gives the baby food and love that brings out it's internal potential. Celebrating the birth of a Jewish daughter is therefore a celebration of Jewish survival, of Jewish values, Jewish identity and of Jewish destiny.
