Congratulation and welcome to the little one.
Yep FyS, and probably with the gift of a golden voice too. In his time.

Yes, big day, indeed. I wasn't aware of the ceremony related to his naming, either. Very intriguing. Perhaps, one day, Leonard will share with 'us' [himself or through an interviewer or in some of his writing] what the essential elements he was looking for that Asher's name fulfills. Asher Cohen is a stunning name... both gentle and strong.. . . after much research by Grand Dad . . . Asher as the boy's Hebrew name.
Thanks for this very special information, Esther and Dick.

'Asher
aw-share'
from ''ashar' (833), happy; Asher, a son of Jacob, and the tribe descended from him, with its territory; also a place in Palestine:--Asher

Happy, at last (but not the least).

Hebrew is a so ancient religion. It has its roots so deep in the History of Mankind. Just straight into the more ancient religions of the Earth.
"The first notion of a supreme creator among early peoples was the great and glorious sun, giving light and heat and life; all early peoples, including the Hebrews, worshipped the sun, the beautiful, visible, shining agency of creation, as they did to the end, and as some primitive peoples do to this day.
Life was a wonderful thing to them, and creation the great miracle. Man discovered in himself the power to reproduce this miracle of creation, to recreate life; and the organ of procreation became from the earliest times an object of veneration and of worship, as the human representative of the divine Creator and Life-giver."
(...)
"We have many early Biblical illustrations of this ancient, Hebraic, Semitic, universal phallic worship. All the ancient monuments, as well as Hebrew Scripture, testify to the same customs. In Genesis, of the reputed sons of Shem, son of Noah, one was Asshur (Gen. 10: 22 ). This phallic name signifies, more or less, happy, fortunate, upright, erect -- unus cui membrum erectus est, vel fascinum ipsum. Asshur went forth, we are told, out of that land, "and builded Nineveh," and founded the great kingdom of Assyria, which perpetuates his name, for its name in Assyrian, and in the Bible, is Asshur. Asshur, or Asher, as the triune God was called in their mythology, became deified; he represented the virile agency of creation, and was the special divinity of the Assyrians. His divine consort, Ishtar or Ashtoreth, was the deified personification of the female principle of creation. The idolic symbol under which they were worshipped was the Asherah, representing the creative union of Bel, or Baal, and Ashtoreth, and typifying "happiness."

"In the foregoing we have seen how the eroto-religious feeling of antiquity deified the male members of the body under Asher, Ann, and Hea."

Well, thank you for that news, Dick . I'm glad to see Leonard and Esther's revered grandfather's name carried on through his great-great grandson. I wonder which name he'll choose to be called by when he's able to make that choice for himself and which name his family will use until he reaches that age [whatever that age may be... it began with me when I turned 18]. Do you have any idea what went into their choice of Cassius?
