Baby Naming ceremonies are generally done in conjunction with our Friday evening and Saturday morning Services.

To reserve a date for the ceremony, you will need to speak to the Rabbis’ study. They will explain the details of the ceremony and what information is needed. Please contact Joanna Schutzer at joanna@crsnyc.org.

If you would like to have a reception following the ceremony, you may rent a room in the Synagogue. Please contact Kathleen Reina at kreina@crsnyc.org for more information.
