Comments

"Blessed be Thou of the Lord, my daughter". When a daughter is born the home becomes filled with joy, beauty and blessings. The Jewish father blesses his newborn daughter, as follows:
"0 my dove, that are in the clefts of
the rock, in the covert of the cliff,
Let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice
For sweet is thy voice and thy countenance is comely"
Song of Songs 2:14
And the Rabbi adds:',,,,
He who blessed our mothers, Sarah, Rebecca,
Rachel, Leah, Miriam the Prophetess, Abigail and
Esther the Queen, the daughter of Avihail, will bless
this delightful child and call its name..."
