“Hava NaBaby was more than a birthing class for us. Miriam cultivated our cohort into a community that supported us during a time of great transition in addition to providing reliable and useful information that helped us during pregnancy, birthing, and early infancy.”
- Melissa and Elliott

"Preparing for childbirth was so overwhelming, there are so many resources offered by so many different types of services. The Hava NaBaby class allowed us to learn everything we needed to know and also added a meaningful Jewish perspective. Miriam's thoughtfulness also helped us to prepare emotionally and really think meaningfully about the life transition. Knowing other young families and having them as a sounding board has been invaluable." - Rachel & Warren

"Hava NaBaby was a great chance to learn about pregnancy and the birthing process with a Jewish angle and with a Jewish community. We had not taken any birthing class when we first signed up, so it was really great to receive useful information about pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum processes. At the same time, it was very exciting to meet other Jewish couples from our community, and to go through this process of learning all together.” - Sarah & Adam
