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.
Sarah Bunin Benor is Professor of Contemporary Jewish Studies and Linguistics at Hebrew Union College.
