Judaism pervades every aspect of one's life. Family is of the utmost importance in Jewish faith and culture. Jewish beliefs and rituals begin with the birth of a child which is manifested by the naming of the baby, circumcision, and the redemption of the firstborn. The manifestation of Judaism continues with the teaching of the children and the taking on of the mitzvot by the child. Learning is a continuing process for all Jews and continues throughout the life cycle processes of engagement and marriage and finally death and mourning.
