The girls get their Hebrew names

On Jan 1, Ilona and Marin received their Hebrew names at Temple Rodef Shalom. Ilona is now Lior Chana and Marin is Malka Vered in the Jewish community. Ilona was fascinated by the singing during the service, particularly Rabbi Saxe's guitar strumming. She kept reaching for the guitar on the bimah, until she noticed the audience and waved at them, much to everyone's delight.
