Boker Tov and Shabbat Shalom as we drive to Pennsylvania with the sunrise this morning. It’s a beautiful day.

Not a day goes by without someone struggling to pronounce my name or asking me why I “changed it”. Please allow me to clarify, and tell you a bit of my story. I was born to native Israeli parents in Tel Aviv, on the Yom Kippur war of 1973 (some people say that explains a lot about me 👊🏼💪🏼😂). My mother’s mother (who was also born in Israel) wanted me to be named after my great-grandmother Rivka, (believe it or not, also born in Israel) who helped build modern Israel, along with my great grandfather, Pinchas.

My mother was a rebel hippie in the seventies so she didn’t want to give me a biblical name like Rivka. However, to appease my grandmother, she put it on my birth certificate as a middle name (but said she would never call me that).

My mother gave me the name Baht. It was a totally original name— to this day, even Israelis are awestruck when I introduce myself. I have only heard of one other person in the world with the name Baht, בת. It literally means “daughter”.
Years later, after my parents divorce, my mother and I moved to a kibbutz up north. There, we met an American traveler— a hippie Jewish artist who came to Israel to discover his roots and inspire his art. He and my mother had much in common. They fell in love and eventually decided that we’d move with him to America.

It was major culture shock… the language, the enormity, the mere plenty. Everything was so GRAND compared to our tiny little humble country. Both my mother and I were overwhelmed with the change in culture and language as we tried to acclimate.

They married. He adopted me. I started public school in America. I was different looking and different sounding than most of my classmates, and everyone knows that kids can be cruel. They, and my teachers had trouble understanding and/or pronouncing my name. I was brutally teased and bullied.
I went to my mother and begged her to let me change my name. It is then that she disclosed that had a middle name— to that point, I never even knew it existed. She said I could go by Rivka if I wanted… but I didn’t. Rivka was still “too weird.” I just wanted a normal American name, like Jennifer or Lori 😆. She said well, Rivka is Rebecca in English….. so I became Becki for most of my young life.

Years later, I discovered Yeshua. The reality of God’s grace in giving us Messiah as atonement for our sin was a life altering revelation— His salvation and unconditional love changed me forever. I later met some Christians who asked me how it was that a girl from Israel ends up with a name like Becki 😆. Upon contemplating that question, I began researching the meaning of my name. I knew that in Hebrew, my first name, Baht, means daughter— but I what I didn’t realize was that my middle name, Rivka, is the root of a biblical word— a word which isn’t used in modern Hebrew so I was not familiar with it. Rivka refers to the binding of the sacrifice to the altar 🫢. It suddenly dawned on me that my rebel, hippie Israeli parents named me… wait for it… Baht Rivka… Daughter of the Sacrifice Bound. Yes— before I was ever a thought in their minds, HE knew my name.

There is so much more to this story that I skipped, before, after and in between. That was just a little glimpse…. maybe I’ll write a book one day. Oh, and PS… while we are clearing up names and meanings and pronunciations lol… the name of my page and music ministry is Lazman Hazeh Music (pronounced LaZMAHN-haZEH MiYUsic), which in Hebrew, means Music, For Such a Time as This. ❤️
