What's In A NameDAVID is from the Hebrew, meaning "beloved." David, son of Jesse (I Samuel 17:12), was the second king of Israel and G-d promised David that all future kings, including Moshiach, would be descended from him. He was the compiler/ author of the Psalms. He soothed the troubled King Saul with his harp and battled Goliath.
DEVORAH (Deborah) is from the Hebrew, meaning "bee." Devorah was a great prophetess and the only female judge (Judges 4:5). She and general Barak led a successful campaign against the Canaanites. The "Song of Devorah" is her victory poem following the battle.
If we have a question in Jewish law, how many rabbis can we consult?
If we have consulted a rabbi and he has forbidden a certain matter in question, we are not permitted to consult another rabbi about the same question, unless we first advise him of the decision of the previous rabbi. (Kitzur Shulchan Aruch)
