How I found Michael

On Thursday, June 14, 2007 I was asked the following question:

Can two children from the same parents have the same Hebrew name, named after the same grandparent?

A Leibowitz

This was my response:

Thank you for your question...the answer is, yes. Hebrew names are given in memory or honor of a loved one. As such, it can be used as often as desired.

Shalom
Rabbi Dan

If you have questions about a personal matter, or jewish practices and customs, you can submit them to me by e-mail. I answer all queries directly, or through this column, when the question is informative to our community.

Thank you for your kind attention and this opportunity to share with you,
Rabbi Dan S. Wiko
