Jewish boy receives his name during which event?

Circumcision


Jewish people say something when a child is born What is it?

If it is a girl: the baby is given a name in Synagogue the first sabbath after she is born. If it is a boy: the baby receives a Brit-circumcision-- eight days after he is born. He is given a name during the ceremony.Other than that, Jewish people get very excited about babies. Women plotz. People eat food.Circumcision is a religious obligation on Jews recalling the covenant that God made with Abraham. Ordinarily circumcision ceremonies take place when the child is eight days old but it can be delayed for medical reasons.The Brit Milah is usually attended by men. The child is placed on the lap of a male friend or relative who has the honour of being the Sandek. He has the responsibility of holding the child still whilst the circumcision is performed by a Mohel.Naming the babyBaby boys are also given their names at their circumcisions; it is customary to keep the name a secret before the ceremony.It is traditional for the child to receive his or her name at the first public gathering, so if the child is a girl, then she will be named at the first public reading of the Torah at the Synagogue.There are other Jewish traditions but these are more to do with superstition than having any real religious significance; for example pregnant women must not visit cemeteries.

What happens when a jew is born?

Jews celebrate a child's birth as a personal/family affair. Far more important is the Brit Milah, or circumcision for Jewish boys, when the child is eight days old, or the baby naming, when a Jewish girl is given her Hebrew name in front of the congregation within her first month.


Are Jewish children baptised like children in Christianity?

no. There is a different system for presenting the Jewish male child; it is circumcision. This happens on the eighth day of the child's life. At that time, he is given his Hebrew name, which may be different than the given name in the community.The commandment is given in Genesis, when God said that all males in Abraham's household were to be circumcised, beginning with the child of eight days. Abraham was faithful and circumcised himself and all his male household at that time.Answerno because Jewish people do not believe that Jesus Christs was actually the Lord's Son. Jewish Answer The first 'answer' is wrong. There is no equivalent to a baptism in Judaism as there is no need for such a ceremony from the Jewish perspective. According to the teachings of Judaism, we are born good and innocent and there is no such thing as original sin.The circumcision ceremony is a part of confirming our covenant with HaShem. Since baby girls are not circumcised, most Jews have a baby naming ceremony where the community is told her Hebrew name and friends have family have the opportunity to wish the baby mazel tov (good luck).

How do Jew's celebrate after their child has been baptized?

There is no baptism in Judaism. But from Judaism101, a very basic explanation what happens when a Jewish baby is born; After a child is born, the father is given the honor of an aliyah (an opportunity to bless the reading of the Torah) in synagogue at the next shabbat. At that time, a blessing is recited for the health of the mother and the child. If the child is a girl, she is named at that time. A boy's name is given during the brit milah (ritual circumcision), which is usually performed on the eighth day of the child's life (if the child is healthy).
