Shalom Zachar
A Shalom Zachar is celebrated on the first Friday night after the birth of a baby boy
A Shalom Zachar (also: Sholom Zochor, Shulem Zucher, Hebrew: שלום זכר; trans. Welcoming the male; lit. Peace be upon the male), is a gathering which takes place in Ashkenazi Jewish circles on the first Friday night after a baby boy is born.
