I am trying to create an orthodox ceremony to mark the birth of my
daughter. I don't want this to be a female version of a brit, but to
be a short ceremony which will be meaningful for her (when she's old
enough to understand) as a welcome into the Jewish community and a
celebration of her arrival as a little Jewish woman. I'm really
struggling to find resources online which might help me do this and am
also trying to locate appropriate potential readings - either from
tenach or Rambam, Rashi etc which might reflect either on the
responsibilities of a Jewish parent, or on the potential inherent in
our children. There also seems to be a lack of suitable secular
readings on the subject. I'd be really grateful for any help/
suggestions.
