| | Jewish Names |
| | David Golinkin of the Jerusalem Seminary of Judaic Studies addressed the importance of women's names in the life of Jewish people as used in prayers for the healing of the sick. | | | At the Third International Conference on Jewish Names held July 1997, the special focus of the conference was on women's names. | | | For example, contrary to the tradition of calling a person to read from the Torah by his father's name, a person who is ill is mentioned by the name of his mother in the mishabayrach (prayer for the sick). |
