Zoe from NYC had a pretty straight forward request: her sister's , in a simple yet elegant design, inspired by her sister’s passion for ballet. . She and David exchanged a few emails about the etymology of the names, figuring out they were both Yiddish.⁠
Etymology is fun and often challenging but above all, it matters for the correct transliteration. Words are often spelled differently in Hebrew and Yiddish [and Aramaic]. That's why David and I have worked together for years. He with his linguistic and theological insights - and me with my creativity.⁠
