The Beauty of Names

» Liora - A name I am honored to have

I am the most fortunate wife in the world because I have a husband who has given me my Hebrew name upon my conversion as well as taking his family name when we married.
When my "official" conversion was coming up (I always knew I was Jewish in my heart, somehow just born wrong) my cantor and I asked my husband, Ofer, to choose my Hebrew name. Well, first off our last name is Elkayam-which means "G-- is around" and then he gives me the name of Liora-which means "my light" I don't think I could have asked for a more beautiful gift.

I am beginning my own business and I am going to simply call it "Elkayam Design". How can I go wrong with that??!!

Thanks for letting me share this,
Shalom
