In Judaism it is a custom to choose the names of our children from the Bible. Today we are going to meet names that start with the third letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, the letter gimel.
The first name is Gad, Jacob's son as we read in Genesis 30:11-
"וַתֹּאמֶר לֵאָה, בגד (בָּא גָד); וַתִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמוֹ, גָּד"
"And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad"
