Towdah

Towdah is the Hebrew word meaning to extend hands in Praise and Thanksgiving for things not yet received. From the moment we decide to be parents, our hearts are filled with anticipation, excitement, yearning, and love for this child not yet conceived. For those of us who have had difficulty conceiving, the act of conception is itself a Miracle of God. During the journey of pregnancy, we pray for the child’s health, for his/her spirit, for favor, grace, protection. All the world over we unite in prayer and supplication for this new life. We know that he or she is a child of God, and out of this place of excitement, anticipation, fear, and love, Towdah is born.
