About Shalom Baby

Shalom Baby is designed to help San Diego families raising Jewish children celebrate the arrival of their Jewish newborns and welcome them to the San Diego Jewish Community through gift baskets, playgroups, social events, holiday celebrations, and resource guides.

This successful outreach program has expanded to meet new parents' needs by offering: infant massage, Shalom Baby Together – You & Me music and movemement, baby book clubs, sleep solutions classes, and more.

Shalom Baby Playgroup Celebrates 10 Year Reunion

From our first meeting in September 2005, our babies have continued to grow up together - learning and developing and preserving the friendships and bonds built a decade ago. Fate and the unparalleled, unique nature of the Shalom Baby mission brought us together. Indeed, we are thrilled to have celebrated our 10-year Shalom Baby reunion this month. Thank you Shalom Baby, for bringing us together. We are eternally grateful for the lifelong connections that we have formed.
