Jewish Birth & Life Cycles

An afternoon of story and celebration for

Jewish Culture Month, 2026

Join us on Sunday 7th June, btw 2pm - 4.30pm in London NW3, for a relaxed family-friendly afternoon of Jewish storytelling exploring birth, matrescence, and reproductive life cycles. Part of Jewish Culture Month, this event features diverse voices through discussion, poetry, and song, celebrating cultural and spiritual rites of passage in British Jewish life.

Programme includes:

  • Rabbinical perspectives from Rabbi Miriam Berger, introducing Wellspring - a space to mark transition or change - joyful or mournful - and find solace, self-care and some peace.

  • Live participatory drawing with Talmudic Drawing Studio

  • Song and ritual-making with Kohenet Rachel Rose Reid of Yelala

  • Creative journaling with Maternal Journal

  • Be Fruitful - the new book on Jewish birth by Dr B.J. Woodstein

  • Hope and Healing through Song with Judith Silver

  • Poetry by Chloe Yale Pinto

  • Jewish Books for sale on birth and life cycles

And more to be announced!

Tickets £15 for adults, £7 for over 5’s and free for under 5’s.

Please come along and support the work Shifrah UK is doing to make birth safe for Jewish women and families.
