Because when you make a Mi Sheberach for the girl and call her Torah bas … and at the same time say …Legedelah LeBaal Torah… in front of a Torah scroll no less, it would look odd and contradictory and appear that the father and the Torah scroll are somewhat related ?!?
RT: More like she would be related to the Torah in the future, no?
yiddishmeidel: Well, I can speak from experience. When people say Torah, I do not think of myself. 🙂 (I do wish I had picked a different screenname, but it’s too late now.)
torah- hmmm i would never imagine you would want to switch from such a heimish name such as you have, especially to go to a lesser one of kedusha! but im glad you dont think of yourself when pple say torah,could get very confusing like i said before!(hey look,does that mean i was actually right for a change yay good for me 🙂 )
