My name


One of the many prayers routinely said in Jewish synagogues is a prayer for people who are ill. Individuals can insert the names of friends or loved ones who are sick to ask for healing. So over the last few days I have received numerous requests for my Hebrew name, which is:

ּרחל שרה בת חוה אתל וניסן לב

Earlier today, I was writing to a friend, a physician in Israel, to thank him for his help and support as we “navigate these difficult waters.” No sooner did those words come out through my fingers, I realized that they were oddly appropriate as we are dealing with a disease of the urological system.

I am hoping to keep my sense of humor in tact over these challenging months ahead!

Love,

Rebecca
