What Matters More: My Grandparent's Name or My Own?

from Human & Holy · host Tonia Chazanow

The Medrash teaches that every person has three names: the one our parents give us, the one our friends give us, and the ones we make for ourselves. In this episode, we dive deep into a single verse in Parshat Vayakhel to explore what it truly means to name ourselves, and why the greatness of our ancestors only becomes relevant once we become a person in our own right. * * * * * * *Join our new virtual Tanya class!
