Why Would You Pick a Hebrew Name? ✡ "Jeremiah Son of Hilkiah"

The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. JEREMIAH (1:1) דִּבְרֵי יִרְמְיָהוּ בֶּן חִלְקִיָּהוּ מִן הַכֹּהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲנָתוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן ירמיהו א:א div-ray yir-m'-ya-hu ben khil-kee-ya-hu min ha-ko-ha-neem a-sher ba-a-na-tot b'-e-retz bin-ya-min

Jerusalem Inspiration In today's verse we are introduced to the prophet Jeremiah as the son of Hilkiah, from the priests of Anatot.  We know that there are no extraneous words in the holy Bible, so this introduction has significance!  Tradition tells us that when a person is presented as his father's son, this specifically lends importance to his direct lineage.  Hilikiah, it is taught, was a great prophet himself, and it would only be fitting to introduce Jeremiah while giving recognition to his prophet father.

Jerusalem Inspiration According to Jewish tradition, a name has deep spiritual dimensions, shaping a person’s character throughout life. We therefore look towards our ancestors and select a fitting role model whom we want to emulate. The Book of Numbers describes a righteous woman, Noa, one of the five daughters of Zelophehad who demonstrated an intense love for the Land of Israel. The name Noa in Hebrew means "pleasant," but also is associated with a passionate love for the Promised Land.

The name, which means "a hundred gates," was used to refer to the "hundredfold" bumper crop Isaac reaped with divine favor (Gen. 26:12). That section was the Torah portion of the week in 1874, when a group of Jerusalemites resolved to build this neighborhood outside the crowded walled Old City, and chose this as a promising name.
