and I LOVE them! They are awesome! I have been babysitting for them for a few months now. What are some important/interesting things I need to know about their religion? I am Christian. I came to babysit for their baby naming for their newborn. Anything I should know to do or not to do?

All you really need to know is what the children are allowed to eat and what they aren't allowed to eat according to their religion. You don't really need to be an expert on Jewish beliefs to babysit...

i'm no longer a fundamentalist or a "hard-center Christian." in spite of the undeniable fact that, i think of you may experience this way by way of incontrovertible fact which you're an atheist and don't understand the Lord as we do. once you like somebody, you desire to guard your Love. you will upward push up on your love. What can i do to alter your concept? i'm able to do no longer something. i'm confident you will have us take each and all of the insults thrown at us and stay silent while we are instructed how idiotic we are. while somebody asks a question human beings, might you have us stay silent as properly? I easily have seen that take place; we are mocked for that, too. I say this with the utmost admire and sincerity. i do no longer think of we are able to do something to fulfill some human beings. we are condemned from the start. Have a reliable afternoon.

Food is the biggest issue I can think of, but presumably the parents are providing the food you're serving the children anyway, and if there needs to be specific directions, they'll presumably tell you. I wouldn't bring food over and give it to the children without the parents' OK, but I'd give that advice even if they weren't Jewish due to the whole food alergy issue.
You probably don't want to bring up things like Santa Claus either unless you hear the parents refer to him. Its likely (although not guaranteed) the children have not been brought up to believe in him.

honestly ask the parents. say look i know your jewish, and i'm not. i really want to know if there is anything i shouldn't do? or should do?
me personally i know some people who are Jewish don't eat milk and dairy products at the same time, the eat them the other hours later. i'm not sure about other stuff. so ask them, i know i would appricaite it if i had a child any my babysitter was unsure of things like that if they asked.

don't eat pork, if they keep kosher. apart from that, it varies. there's a wide range. try asking the family ahead of time. if you've been sitting for a few months, you should know the parents well enough to ask. just politely tell them you've never been to a baby naming, and is there anything you should or shouldn't do. you'll be fine.
