My daughter Janine will be Bat Mitzvah shortly. you have previously let me have details of the parsha for the week however, i need to write something about women, their role, a role model or something meaningful for the ceremony. i do not want to do it on my late mother as i will get very emotional. however, my daughters hebrew names (in phonetics) are Yisroela Channa. i wonder whether you could help her by letting me please have some meaningful information relating to these names and their role in the jewish history and our way of life thank you so much and i look forward to hearing from you michelle rothburn
