The shvitzing of naches just doesn’t stop here at the house that Jewlicious built! We’d all like to extend a hearty Mazal Tov to Long Beach Hillel Director Rachel Bookstein, Hillel Chaplain and Jewlicious poster Rabbi Yona Bookstein, and the whole Bookkstein clan on the birth of the latest Bookstein baby boy. BBB was born on the 5th of Elul 5766 (Aug. 29 2006) at 12:44 pm PST. He weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and stands 21 inches tall.
While Jews don’t name their boys until the bris which takes place 8 days after they are born, nothing prevents baby boy Bookstein from writing his first post on the inevitable baby Bookstein blog. Maybe baby boy Bookstein’s first blog post will be about his upcoming Long Beach bris and yes, it will inevitably be titled “Bouncing Baby Boy Bookstein Blogs his Beach Bris.”
Thank you! I’ll be here all week.

I fully expect his name to be Jonathan T. Bookstein. This creates both dream scenarios: Rabbi Yo(nah) gets a mini-Me in Lil’ Yo(natan), plus enables his initials to be JTB.
What else could we name a Jewlicious baby? Matisyahu Bookstein? Podcast Bookstein? Or how about just “Bloggy Bookstein”?
In any case, mazal tov to Yonah and Rachel and the gantsa mishpocha!

Hey Laya!! You SURE you don’t want one of these?!
Don’t go calling him a “Freakin’ Baby” (somebody put in the link to the relevant post).
He’s just so so cute!
