A week ago, a baby girl was born to Rabbi Eitan and Shira Shnerb, parents of Rina, hy’d, who was murdered in a terror attack eight months ago at the age of 17.

In an interview after the birth, the Shnerbs said that they would not be naming their new baby after Rina since that would mean they would have two daughters named Rina since they still feel her presence. Rabbi Shnerb even said that he is open to suggestions on what to name her.

On Wednesday, as Israel celebrated Yom Ha’atzmaut under lockdown, Rabbi Shnerb named his baby during an outdoor ceremony. The new baby’s name is Tiferet.

And life goes on. As Jews we always innovate and find a new way to do things.

Channel 2 News correspondent Ofer Hadad wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that after he wrote an article on the Shnerbs, he received many messages from people who wanted to be informed what the Shnerbs decided to name their baby.

Therefore, when he received a message from Rabbi Shnerb on Wednesday, he made sure to share it immediately with the public so everyone could know the name.

אחרי הכתבה אמש קיבלתי הרבה הודעות מאנשים שרצו לדעת מה השם שנבחר לתינוקת אז מעדכן שלפני זמן קצר שלח לי הרב איתן שנרב:

"ויקרא שמה בישראל.." תפארת!
ברנה יתפאר שמך"

תפארת בתנ"ך מופיע בפסוקים רבים כחלק מתיאור של גאולת ישראל. בתפילה לגאולה שלימה בעז"ה. ולתפארת מדינת ישראל🇮🇱
