Shalom Family: About Us

Shalom Family is an initiative of The Mayerson Foundation. While Shalom Family programs are open to all families in the Jewish Community in which at least one parent is Jewish, we are especially dedicated to families who would like to become more connected to Jewish life, or just explore some possibilities.

This initiative began in 2001 as a way to link families with newborn babies to Jewish community resources. However, it quickly grew into a much larger program, serving families with children of every age. Today, in addition to many other programs and services, Shalom Family offers the biggest events and programs for families in the Greater Cincinnati Jewish community all throughout the year, at a wide variety of the most popular kid-friendly venues in town… and the best part is they’re always FREE!

From a free Shalom Baby Gift for every child 18 months and younger, to the new Project Spark initiative, designed to help young families build their own unique Jewish traditions, Shalom Family delivers everything you need to start exploring Jewish life -- right to your front door.
