Rabbi Miriam Cotzin Burg is the founder of Hava NaBaby. Soon after giving birth to her first child, she realized that combining “Jewish” and “childbirth education” had the potential to be transformational for many people during this liminal time of life. Since then, she has taught expectant parents in Chicago, Baltimore, and Los Angeles, where she now lives.
Miriam is a childbirth educator certified by the International Childbirth Education Association and has been a rabbi for more than two decades.
Lucy Marshall is a queer Ashkenazi Jewish educator, facilitator, ritualist, and network weaver. She is the founder of Neshama Mama, a new library unearthing Jewish art and ritual about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Passionate about cultivating Jewish belonging, Lucy is the Director of Engagement & Education at Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Minnesota. She is a proud ema (mother) to her babies Lazer and Raizel on Dakota Land in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
