Naming:

The tradition is that the baby given a name in a certain period. This is considered as sacred customs. Naming tradition is as follows:
First, a word, which commemorates an important event in the life of a father or mother, is selected, and one of God's names is added to it and the name can be chosen from the mentioned names in the Torah. Commonly they use words ending to el, or il that means "God". Because el and il in Hebrew language mean God. Given that Jews consider themselves children of God. Therefore, having such names is a very normal thing in their view.
But the issue is a little different for Jews in other countries. According to the mentioned customs and principles, baby will have a Hebrew name. But this name will be used only within the family and among relatives and friends. According to culture of each country, another name will be registered in the baby's ID, because of being authorized and Jews can live in other lands comfortably and cannot be recognized easily, and can achieve top positions of social promotion. Naming is counted a religious duty in Judaism.

Children up to school age:

Another ceremony called "the cradle ceremony" is common among the Jews. After a circumcision ceremony, they put Torah and pen and ink at the top of the baby's head. Torah is moving at the top of the baby's head for a while. Next, they say prayers about learning, reading, writing and promoting the Torah by the child. Some put sugar and nuts in the baby's swaddle. For the preservation of the child from evil spirits and evil eye, they will write prayers and put them next to the baby. Hair and nails that are known as attack of the evil spirits are shaved and shortened, in the meantime, a special ceremony will be held. Eastern super-extremist Jews go to grave of "Raty Shimon Ben Juha" on the thirty-third day and for the first time, they shave baby's hair there but the hair on the sides of the cheeks are not shaved. The tassel is called the Paut.
Leviticus, chapter 19, verse 27:
"Do not shave corners of your beard and do not shave corners of your beard."
In Judaism children start religious education in very young ages, before the age of seven, and enter the school, at least they will learn morning and evening prayers.
The beginning of the study period is sacred for a child whose childhood is passed. Before starting school, children should have learnt basic religious information. Starting the academic year is along with a ceremony. Rabbi spoke about it, and he announces start of education chapter. As raw data, interpretations of the Torah and the Talmud are taught to children. Religious sciences have important place in the Jewish communities. According to the Jews, the task of school is just teaching religion and Jewish laws. Training is done in a chamber called Hadar. There will be no debate about the Torah. They only teach children. Every student has a Torah in the school. In the classroom, Torah reading is done with covering the head. Generally, the purpose of primary school education, as well as modern science education programs is solving problems and plan for the future life of Jewish children, according to the precepts of the Torah and Talmud. That is how the new generation will be raised as conservative, religious and extremist and dependent on in the Torah.
The ceremony of the (religion birth?):
Jewish child will be called "Barmysova" that means child of the law a month after breaking the age of twelve. From now on, he has to obey the Jewish religious laws, and will accept all the religious responsibilities. The father will not be responsible for his son's behalf. When he enters Synagogue, he is called Barmysova, and there he will recite a surah or verse of the Torah. They do not have to read the chapter completely, and the child will have religious and social character in the event that his parents are there, too.

Marriage:

One of the important rituals of Judaism is marriage. Various laws and customs about marriage are mentioned in Talmud and there are especial rituals for it. Marriage is known as the most important factor of births of Israelites, and it is obligatory upon every Jew. As it is stated in the Torah as follows:
"cover the Earth by giving birth."
Not getting married, and not having children despite being financially and physically perfect, is a sin in the Jewish religion. The only part of the world in where the birth control, and chants of "fewer children a better life" will not be realized is Israel. Essentially it has been accepted that every family should have at least four children. The child allowance paid to employees is high and having many kinds will result in reduction of taxes. Even retired employees, who have more children, receive more pensions. According to religious beliefs, marriage caused the sequence generation of children of Israel, and prevented abolishing them.
Before the wedding ceremony, a boy and girl, who are engaged, go to meet a rabbi who is in charge of their marriage. First of all, the rabbi will remind them the Jewish faith and the importance of marriage in the Jewish community, and make them promise to maintain the religious customs and principles and carry out all duties.
Rabbis' task is unlimited about marriage. Rabbi in their diagnosis, can disrupt inappropriate and inconsistent marriages, and stop them. Rabbi, after hearing witnesses and friends, and then ensuring the accuracy of their statements, announces their marriage, congratulates the couple and the reads suitable prayer.
