Popular Hebrew Names for Boys
One of the main highlights of a Bris is the giving of the Hebrew or Jewish name to the baby. This is always exciting, and often emotional, especially when one names after a loved one who has passed on. The Sages teach us that the name a child is given will have an influence on their lives.
