Said to Myself

Emunah

With much thought, that you will get to read about in this blog, Adina and I decided to name our daughter Emunah. This is most often translated as “faith”. But I will give myself some time to actually spell out a better explanation/translation.  I imagine it could take some time to explore why faith as we think about it popularly is not what we have in mind. It seems reasonable to give myself until her Bat Mitzvah. As for now, let us just say that she was born out of a deep foundation of trust and commitment between Adina and me and that we love Emunah very much. We hope that she grows into the depth and breadth of what inspired her name, but we are also happy that her brothers have taken to calling their sister Emi. We look forward to celebrating her arrival with a ceremony in the near future.
