And Our Baby's Name Is...

Elianna Rachel Goldish!!! :)
[rachel as in ra ra ra!, not run]

As SIL wrote in the previous post, she was born at 9:29 A.M. Friday morning, and weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 19 inches long. She and Serach are bH healthy, and both have been getting plenty of rest (Elianna a bit more than Ser). We had the baby at Mount Sinai on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and through a series of fortuitous events I found a shul called Orach Chaim on Lexington Ave. between 94th & 95th Streets and they graciously offered to have me name her there.

Thanks to everyone for your beautiful, warm, and kind (and funny!) wishes, whether via e-mail, the blog, or of course, OnlySimchas. Hopefully we'll get some pictures up in the near future... and of course, more details to come later. Thanks again!

  13. Mazel Tov!

    For the next time, Mount Sinai itself has a shul on the 2nd floor of the main hospital building, complete with Shacharis and Mincha. I usually daven mincha there on shabbos afternoons, after my bikkur cholim visits. There's no need to seek out another shul.

  18. Oh, I love the name! And I'm so pleased you're pronouncing it correctly, too. I can tell she's going to slow the blogging a bit, at least for a while: You haven't said a word yet about George Mason! C'mon, now. This is big news.

  20. EZZIE! Mazal Tov! You're in town and you didn't even CALL!!?!?! You could have named the Baby with us at Rabbi Feitman's shul.

    And I can't believe I've never made the connection before -- if your father is who I think he is, then I can tell you he is an amazing person. He comes to visit us once a year and speaks better than just about anyone else I know.

    Mazal Tov!
