Hot Hot Hot



We are having a heat wave and it is SO HOT!!! I don't usually drink coffee but this just sounded so good and refreshing.

The electric company requested that people don't use their air conditioning between 12-5. I wonder how many people actually did that in this 100+ degree weather. We are in summer!

Gifts


It was my mom's birthday we had a photo shoot for her.

Rosh Chodesh Sivan


CNY's 1st trip to the Kotel, Rosh Chodesh Sivan.

Redeeming Chayim Natan Yisrael


CNY has been redeemed!
Weird ceremony...Pidyon HaBen

Welcome To The Tribe




Introducing......

Chayim Natan Yisrael


A BIG name for a little man. The Bris was a very emotional day for me, we initiated our baby boy into the tribe and gave him his name. While I was pregnant my maternal grandfather passed away and we had discussed that if the baby was a boy then we would most likely name him after my grandfather, Chayim Yisrael. After the baby was born we knew this would be his name. There is an idea that parents get ruach hakodesh (divine inspiration) in deciding the name of their child, we really saw this because the day before the bris both Y and I had the idea separately to also give our son one of Y's paternal grandfather's names, he was Natan Alter, so we chose the Natan. And there we have it, Chayim Natan Yisrael, Israel gives life or we give life to Israel!!!

Mazal Tov!
