Yonatan Mendel Levitt יונתן מנדל בן מיכאל הלוי
Yonatan Mendel was born on 14 Cheshvan,
5762 (31 October 2001), and is named for his father's father. Since he is the seventh in a line of alternate Michaels and Mendels, meaning that none of them has, so far, lived to see their grand child of the same name (Ashkenazi tradition is to name a child after a deceased family member), we made a decision, devised by my wife, Riva, to break this bad cycle whilst still maintaining the tradition, giving Yonatan the name of Mendel as a middle name, rather than as a first name. We are sure this means that I will indeed live to see Yonatan's children, and he need not name any of his sons Michael - and please G-d he will have many children! By the same token, with Amber's children!
Yonatan loves sport, especially football, being a lifelong supporter of Everton. One of Yonatan's great hobbies is making stop-motion movies, especially using Lego. You can see examples on his YouTube channel. here is just one example - be warned, they are gory!
