They were there to celebrate the arrival of Abigail Rina, the couple’s second daughter, with a ceremony called a simchat bat, Hebrew for “cele- bration of a daughter.” In a ritual led by her parents and her uncle, who is a rabbi, baby Abby was ceremonially ushered into her family, community and the Jewish people, mak- ing her one of a growing number of Jewish girls whose births or adoptions are marked with a welcoming ceremony. “If we were going to have a boy and July PARENT1, 2002 THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM DTG, PSG 11 have this big event for him,” said Kahn Glass, referring to the ritual male cir- cumcision, or bris milah, “then we wanted to be able to do the same for our daughters.
