For many of us our Hebrew name is tucked in a corner of our minds collecting dust. When we are asked to recall it a moment of panic sets in and I oftten get the resposne; "I'll get back yo you on that, Rabbi", Today, it's essential to bring our Hebrew names back out front. Our kids should know ours, and we should know our children's Hebrew names. Aish is embarking on a campaign to collect and save your Hebrew names.
