A standing-room group of Jewish community members crowded the atrium of the Helfaer Community Service Building — headquarters of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and other agencies — on Jan. 25. They helped celebrate the naming and the brit milah of fraternal twins, Na’ama and Matan, born Jan. 3 to Milwaukee’s current emissaries from Israel, Michal Makov-Peled and Ro’ee Peled. (See birth announcement, page 22.) The parents are shown at right with (from left) Rabbi Noah Chertkoff of Congregation Shalom, mohel Dr. Jonathan Berkoff, Judaic educator of the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center Jody Hirsh (holding Na’ama), and maternal grandfather Herzl Makov (holding Matan).
