Your name is what precedes you, from which others make assumptions. How many names are you given?
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
Your name is that which precedes you, from which others make assumptions about you. How many names are you given?
YOUR NAMES
L’khol Ish Yesh Shem (“Each Person Has a Name”)
"Each of us has a name
given by God
and given by our parents
Each of us has a name
given by our stature and our smile
and given by what we wear
Each of us has a name
given by the mountains
and given by our walls
Each of us has a name
given by the stars
and given by our neighbors
Each of us has a name
given by our sins
and given by our longing
Each of us has a name
given by our enemies
and given by our love
Each of us has a name
given by our celebrations
and given by our work
Each of us has a name
given by the seasons
and given by our blindness
Each of us has a name
given by the sea
and given by
our death."
-Israeli poet Zelda Schneurson Mishkovsky
[Translated from the Hebrew by Marcia Lee Falk]
L’khol Ish Yesh Shem (“Each Person Has a Name”) is now recited in Israel on every Holocaust Memorial Day.
