[@shoshanablum220]

My name is Shanya(Also spelled Shaniya , Shania,etc) Elizabeth so I took Shoshana Elisheva because it closely alighted to mine, Shanaya I’m told means different things , Lily, Rose, Beautiful, Ray Of sunshine, Of Spotlight, and Shoshana meant Lily of the valley /rose of Sharon which in Songs Of Solomon meant I stood out from others.Elisheva was the cousin of Mary and mother to John, my first name I’m told is derived from a Greek form of John. Because it fits perfectly I chose Elisheba as my second name , it fits with my first name which is from John , From Marys cousin and simply because I’m used to having two names as well

[@TheJewishConvert]

Hallo Shoshana Elisheva. I am not sure if you are messianic or Christiaan, but I can only give you the Jewish sources for the names you picked. Jews do not believe in the gospel or the "New Testament". We are very much happy with the original testament that G-d gave us and which he called an eternal covenant which many people unfortunately call the "Old Testament. Elisheva is actually the name of the wife of Aaron who was the older brother of Moshe by 3 years. Aaron become a Cohen and thus all the high priests practically comes from Elisheva. Shoshana is mentioned in Songs of Songs where G-d calls the Jewish Nation Shoshana (Rose among the Thorns) Shabbat Shalom

I have been trying to learn the meaning and and spelling of my name, I don't really know where to look, every place I look has it a bit different. My name is Jishar (2nd son of Coat, son of Levi as said un Exodus 6:18) and Jair (which I suppose refers to the one un Numbers 32:41), would you kindly help me? May G-D bless you

[@TheJewishConvert]

I did not find any explanation of the name but I can help you with the spelling. In Hebrew it is spelled יצהר which is pronounced Yitzhar. This name also appears in Deut 7:13 where the meaning is your oil.

[@elianayocheved770]

Your name is lovely, and I like the story behind yours. I haven't heard a Shai'el before, and certainly not a Shai'el Moshe. It's unique to you which is cool. Wishing you a good week. ❤️

[@TheJewishConvert]

LRT YTC thanks allot. Yes its not a common name 😄 Shavuah Tov

[@heatheroconnor4201]

My English name is a flower name. During my conversion one of the Rabbis that taught us had a baby girl. I love babies and was drawn to her and her name Tehilla. I added a second name Leah. People told me at the time that I should save the name for my daughter 😂 I ended up naming my kids with two very common Israeli names, Sara and Ilan

[@TheJewishConvert]

Tehilla Leah is great Hebrew names. So is Sara and Ilan. Chag Sameach

I’m not even Jewish I’m Rastafari Twelve tribes of Israel. I’m interested in Kabbalah that’s how I’m here. My birth name in Hebrew is Abraham. I enjoyed your video and kudos for being so frank and upfront .

[@TheJewishConvert]

Its my pleasure. Chag Sameach. I have a video on my channel where I discuss the origins and what Kabbalah is. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2G2qYuomc1gerc

What's a good hebrew alternative to Andrey or Andrew? In English it means "strong and manly, or warrior" Thanks!

[@TheJewishConvert]

Shalom. Perhaps look at some of the characters in the Bible that has those characteristics. Perhaps Judah or David?

[@newtoatheism5968]

I just found out my name Khara is a curse word in Arabic and Hebrew please help

[@ibbydread6092]

If you simply remove the H Kara would not have that same meaning

[@TheJewishConvert]

A curse only takes hold if you believe in the curse. I would not worry about it, but if you are concerned about it you can always change your name. Also it depends allot on the Hebrew Spelling. Kar in Hebrew means Cold for example.

[@alfreazowilliams6180]

i want to change my name to a Hebrew name as i have Jewish ancestry , looking for a synagogue in cape town

[@TheJewishConvert]

Shalom. There is a few Synagogues in Cape Town. You can try Ohr Sameach or Beit Midrash Morasha in Sea Point which is the Jewish Area. You can find the details on Google and get in touch with them to discuss your case. You will need proof that somewhere in your line there is a Jewish Mother that connects to your Mother with paperwork proving this (DNA Tests is not proof). If you have a father or grandfather that is Jewish you can make Aliyah to Israel but you will not be consider Jewish since by Jewish Law either your Mother must be Jewish or you must go through the official orthodox conversion which takes minimum 2 years in South Africa.

@@TheJewishConvert Thank you i didnt know that, my great grandmother has jewish ancestry she fled germany when she was a child so from what i understand its passed down through the mother, however i would still like to convert

[@TheJewishConvert]

@@alfreazowilliams6180 if your great grandmother on your mother’s side is Jewish then you are Jewish by birth. You need to get in touch urgently with a Rabbi and learn and keep the laws of the Torah. Don’t delay.

@@TheJewishConvert To be honost i am not 100% sure that she was jewish I know her name is Miriam and she fled germany during a horrible time when Jewish people were persecuted, so i think i have to convert because im not too sure, thank you for getting back to me

@@alfreazowilliams6180 the Rabbi’s have ways to check. If not then you will have to do the formal conversion. Behatzlacha on your journey

[@zaiten7653]

My name is German, I’m converting soon, can I pick ירמיהו and romanize it as Geremiah with a G instead of the usual J?

[@rohith_2796]

Should I change my name if I convert to Judaism is it necessary to have Hebrew name?

[@TheJewishConvert]

You can keep your English name. Your Hebrew name is used for all Jewish functions like being called up to the Torah or when you get married

[@justinodowd4182]

That's a brilliant name.

[@coldfusionmusical]

That's not true about Christians, for us, names are important too. My parents were very careful to give me a biblical name and I got a Hebrew name Isaac יצחק and I've been reflecting on it and the calling in my life. Perhaps you came from a background where people have become indifferent in giving names to their kids, not bothering to find out the meaning but just go with the sound, that's why it looks like Christians don't care but that's not right. What people do and what the faith actually teaches are two different things. You'll find in any faith that converts are usually more careful about their names while those born in the faith, unfortunately, appear to not care that much, not all of them though, so perhaps because you're a convert, it's fitting that you're more adamant when it comes to taking up a new name related to your new faith, but I think we can agree that some born Jews also don't have the most ideal names. Anyway, God bless

[@TheJewishConvert]

I 100% agree with this. Thanks for contributing to my channel. Shabbat Shalom

Nice. Yashar in modern hebrew means straight.

Could you refer me to any materials regarding jews in south Afrika?? My Portuguese literature professor was Jewish from New york. I never understood why he had lived un South Afrika. Recently, my Rabbi mentioned South Afrikan Jews who have gone to Israel to fight Hamas will not be allowed to return to SA. My Portuguese lit professor was very dear to me.

Why is there unmodest avertisment at the behinning

[@TheJewishConvert]

Imanuel Vlogs ! What advertising? I never had advertising on my videos before? Maybe its because of the amount of subscribers and views I reached they are adding advertisements. Will have to check my settings and fix it. Thanks for letting me know

[@bowlerfamily]

Advertising is based on your previous searches. It's determined by algorithms not by the post or video.

[@TheJewishConvert]

Bowler Family ah okay thanks for sharing. I mainly watch shiurim so how bad could the adds be 😄 will wait to hear from Imanuel vlogs what add he saw.

@@bowlerfamily so what ur saying is he get’s immodest ads because he watches immodest content?🤣🤣😂

@@themosinguy6508 I'm not sure what immodesty is though. Could be an advertisement with women in pants or an ad regarding men's health. Depending on his level of observance, the spectrum of immodesty could be small or large.
