Traditionally, baby boys are given their Hebrew name eight days after their birth at their circumcision ceremony (brit milah) and baby girls are given their Hebrew names during the Torah reading in the days following their birth. If one's parents did not give them a Hebrew name at birth, or if an individual is converting to Judaism from another religion, they have the freedom to choose their own Hebrew name. Those who have received a Hebrew name later in life have attested to the power they felt in their instant connection to their Biblical name. Find out your Hebrew name today!
