| David,
|
| Yekutiel was a name Moses' mother Yocheved called him. Netanel =
combination
| of Natan, "give", and Kel, one of the names of God (with the K silent),
and
| refers to the giving of Torah to Moses. Avital means "dew of my father" or
| "springtime", best I could find on that.
|
| & continuing the "education" thread from a while back,
| there are 2 main Jewish cultures - the Ashkenazic (Central Europe) and the
| Sephardic (Morocco/Middle East).
| The Ashkenazic pronunciation of a particular Hebrew letter sounds like an
| "s". The Sephardic makes it a "t". So, to a European, the Sabbath is
| "Shabbos". In the Sephardic tradition, it's "Shabbat".
|
| (Modern Israel has adopted the Sephardic pronunciation.)
|
| Sooo, "briss" is also pronounced "brit", which is the word for Covenant.
