yisca sarah weinstein

the main reason that i went to israel at this particular time was to be there for the birth of my grandchild

i planned to be there from a week and a half before Rachel's due date to a week and a half after

yiscah sarah was most cooperative

she was born one day after her due date

yisca sarah was named after a greataunt and great great grandmother on her father's side

yiscah is also an alternative name listed in the Torah for Sarah

it's from the same root as sukkah and it is said to reflect the idea that God's spirit rested upon Sarah/Yisca as the schach rests upon the sukkah

as you can see i was in savta heaven
