The naming ceremony is pretty simple, a few short prayers is all that is needed to welcome ________ into
the tribe of Israel. Before we get started, I would just like to say a few words about how we came up with

With the speechifying out of the way, we just have a few prayers to go through. First, we’ll start with a
shehecheyanu, a prayer of thanks for making it to this point.
Everyone :
