St. Louis Jewish Community Center Parent Support

The J’s Family Center serves as a support for parents by offering classes for expectant Jewish or Interfaith parents, hosting various speakers throughout the year and more.

Imanu, or Our Mothers, is more than just a group of supportive and educational programs for mothers, it is an extension of welcome, warmth and comfort to all families who are new to the J. Through Imanu, you will find connection with other mothers, valuable information as you begin, or continue, your parenting journey, and the support you need to breastfeed your child. Imanu can be your motherhood shalom bayit, your shelter of peace. Imanu programming is provided by Imanu Programming Instructor, Leah Frankel, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Lactation Counselor.
