Excitement and surprise filled all present as the name Menachem Mendel was announced – a truly uncommon name for that Persian community.
The joy was overwhelming as a Persian couple, married for over 18 years, gave birth to their first baby boy. On the eighth day, in a highly festive spirit, the Bris was performed in Chabad of Brookville by the Mohel, Rabbi Levi Heber. The father donned Tefillin and served as Sandek. Rabbi Mendy Heber, the Shliach of Brookville, was honored to bless the child and introduce his Hebrew name.
