My impression is that more Jews today - particularly among the
Orthodox community - are giving their children Hebrew (or Yiddish)
names with no English translation - just a transliteration for the
birth certificate. This is what we intend to do with our children.
It happened much less in the last generation, even among the Orthodox.
Is this a Toronto phenomenon or is it increasing continent-wide?
