Yes, I know it's Ashkenazic Jews that name after the dead and Sephardic will name after the living. From what I know of Alon's family, Mizrahi Jews name after anything they want, trees, the sky, the weather, LOL! Infact, his mother was surprised when they named our grandson Benjamin, she thought it was too old fashioned, it was not a Mizrahi thing so not her thing, nor a modern name. His name is Benjamin Harris, after both my grandparents.

The fellow who wrote on FB that someone should name a child after Bernie was obviously an Ashkenazi Jew.

Nancy, do his views on Israel and his collaboration and seeming love for known antisemites not concern you? I don't think most Americans are ready for what he proposes, as well. So if you want to beat Trump, it should be considered. Personally, he would raise my taxes and take away my most excellent healthcare that I worked 33 years to keep.
