    you should be zoche to much nachas from him and all your others

    maybe check if you can find what location bnei yisroel were on the 4th day out of mitzrayim (day of bris iy"h) and see if its a fitting name

    'nirtza' is gimatria moshe

  2. gotta go finish getting ready for Pessach now. That is a good idea. That is good for the day of the bris - he is born though during the preparations for the Korban pessach. I have to think of a good one between those ideas (and if someone comes uop with something more interesting.

    I just dropped jacqui and lia off at airport so they will be there for the bris.

    Love to you all

  7. that's great! How come you could not come? I am happy to hear Jacqui can travel. We are looking forward to seeing them...

  8. I wish I could have come...but I am drowning in bills that need to get paid. Besides, there is nothing more frustrating then visiting Israel during pesach; you are not being able to have a flafel or shwarma. I don't need to be in Israel to eat matzah brei!
    Hopefully though I will get through this crunch and be able to visit one of these days. Untill then send my love to shif and the kids.

  17. Mazal Tov from Danny & Naomi Schoemann.

    Enjoy picking a name! There's always "Chagi" and "Yom Tov". Sunday was also the Yahrzeit of the RambaN and the Shlo Hakodosh, if you want.

    Mazal Tov and enjoy all the kids,

    - Danny & Naomi

    ReplyDelete
  18. a.e - gotcha. I will consider it (NOT!)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Danny - thank you. Good suggestions (chagi we thought of already..)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Drew. ("I shall call him Moses for I drew him from the water." - never made sense. You can make it right!)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Mazal Tov! Some related names: Caleb (the spy Moses sent into Canaan)., Joshua, (the successor of Moses ), Yigal (He will redeem). Hope it helps!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Maxel Tov, may you see much nachas from your little one?

    Name possibilities:

    Avigdor - One of Moshe's other names

    Nachshon - His mesiras nefesh and emunah are evident at krias yam suf

  23. Mazel Tov,
    Following David Linn's idea: Tuvia.
    (Moshe the medrash tells us had ten names, and we've covered just 3 of them. There are seven more out there. One is Avi Socho, I don't remember the others.)

  24. Mazal Tov!

    Or as we say for boys:

    Besiman Tov!

    ReplyDelete
  25. some more good choices from David, Irina and David. Drew has already been suggested (if not here then in an email someone sent me). Not bad, but not Jewish enough.
    Thank you all for your good wishes!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Mazel Tov! You wished one to me so it's only fitting I wish one to you ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Mazel Tov!!!

    How about 'Eliyahu'? You don't have to use 'Hanavi' for a middle name if you don't want to :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. but I like hanavi better than I like Eliyahu!!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mazal Tov. May you have much nachas from your little Tzaddik!

    Pssssssst. How about Aharon?

    ReplyDelete
  30. amen! Thank you Judah for your wishes.
    Ahron is nice.. We have a lot of names to choose from now..

    ReplyDelete
