We are thrilled to welcome you and your baby as you embark on this wonderful journey of Jewish parenthood! May your child bring you much naches (great pride), immense joy, and fill your heart with love.

By extending a hand of friendship to families who have recently welcomed a baby, we invite your family to become an integral part of Shalom Baby and Calgary’s Jewish community. We connect young families, helping them build social connections and find support. Each new life in the Jewish community is welcomed and celebrated with a free Shalom Baby Gift Bag filled with valuable information, community resources, and gifts for your baby. Please see more information below.

Shalom Baby

Every Wednesday at 12:30 PM, Shalom Baby takes place at the Paperny Family JCC. This one-hour session is a special time for children aged 2 and under, along with their caregivers, to mingle, connect, and enjoy a relaxing, social environment. Whether you're a first-time parent or adding to your growing family, Shalom Baby is a warm and welcoming space to share the journey with others.

Shalom Baby Gift Bag

Welcoming a new baby is a joyful and exciting time, and we want to celebrate this special milestone with you. The Shalom Baby Gift Bag is our way of saying mazel tov and extending a hand of friendship to your growing family. Each beautifully packaged gift bag is filled with helpful information and thoughtful gifts for your little one. If you haven’t yet received your Shalom Baby Gift Bag, email Sydney Truax or call 403-537-8592.
