Mazel Tov to Rabbi Elliot and Toby Kaplowitz
Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude to Hashem upon the birth of our son today – May 27, 2010/ 14 Sivan 5770—at 1:02am. Toby and baby are doing great. The baby weighed 7 pounds and was 19 inches long. Big brother Yisrael was thrilled to meet his “new baby”.
God-willing the /bris/ (circumcision and baby naming) will take place on Thursday June 3 (21 Sivan) in Waltham, MA. Exact details on the time and location will follow. A Shabbat afternoon Shalom Zachor (gathering celebrating a baby boy’s first Shabbat in this world) will take place at our home at 4:00pm.
Mazal Tov!
Love,
Rabbi Elliot, Toby, Yisrael and Little Baby Kaplowitz
