Mazal tov to Naomi Bilmes and Noah Slovin on the birth of their son!

[Cambridge Minyan (cambridgeminyan.org)]

Naomi Bilmes and Noah Slovin are pleased to announce the birth of their son - a little earlier than expected! 

They are so grateful to Hashem that he is healthy and strong! He’s in the NICU working hard at growing, breathing, eating and being cute. The family will be waiting until he is out of the NICU to conduct his brit milah and give him his official name; until then, they invite you to call him by his nickname: Velvel (it’s Yiddish!). Naomi and Noah have created a website (tinyurl.com/adarbaby) where people can sign up to help with some of their needs at this time - you can also keep up on Velvel's progress! Naomi and Noah are incredibly grateful to their families, friends, and communities for all the support they've given so far. Mazal tov to Naomi and Noah, we cannot wait to meet Velvel when it is safe to do so.

Cambridge Minyan is an entirely volunteer-run and member-supported community. We welcome membership donations of $218, as well as contributions of any size - please go to our website at http://www.CambridgeMinyan.org and click on "Make a Donation."

Cambridge Minyan is working to support our community during this difficult and unprecedented time. We are currently coordinating chesed efforts with Minyan Tehillah and Tremont Street Shul (TBS). Working together, we have developed a set of surveys to match volunteers with those who could benefit from assistance. If you are looking for help with grocery shopping or small errands, or tech or social support, please complete this form. If you are able to volunteer to help others, please complete this form. We are also sensitive to the sometimes private nature of asking for help. If you prefer, you may of course always reach out directly to chesed@cambridgeminyan.org.

Cambridge Minyan strives to be a welcoming and supportive community where anyone interested can lead or learn to lead and grow in any way in our services - leading, davening, reading Torah, giving a drash, etc. We especially encourage Jews of Color, non-binary folks, and women. While most prayer leaders at CM services lead in the Ashkenazi tradition, CM celebrates and welcomes those who come from a Sephardic or Mizrachi tradition to lead prayers and read Torah according to their tradition. In the longer term, we commit to engaging with a collective conversation about cultural heritage in our community.
