Mazel Tov
With gratitude to Hashem, we are pleased to announce the birth of a baby boy to Rachel and Rabbi Yonah Bookstein.
Mom and Baby are fine, thank God!
UPDATE:
In accordance with Jewish tradition, we will be anouncing the name after the bris (ritual circumcision) which will be in Long Beach, Tuesday, Sept. 5th.
To attend just send me an email!

Its complicated.
But the simple answer is N for Nechama, my maternal grandma
H for Herbert, rachel’s Maternal grandfather
Of course there is wayyyyyyy more.
Hehe. Sounds like his name will have a good history. Personally I liked learning the origins of my name, and its connection to my family. Granted its no where near as deep as that name. Congrats again!
