I like your Hebrew name! It is quite fitting.  I know what it means in Yiddish (beautiful or pretty)... I assume it means the same in Hebrew?
My real name is Shanna. I don't have a Hebrew name, however I think my parents had "shanah" in mind when they named me...
When did your family come to America, and where were they from? Jewish people usually have very interesting stories about this...
My grandfather, Julius, came over from Vienna, Austria in the early 1900's. He opened up Koenigsdorf's grocery store in Kansas City; my grandfather opened up the Koenigsdorf law firm. Unfortunately, we have no record of what happened to the parts of our family who remained in Germany, Austria, and Czecholslavakia (through WW2), though we know what happened to them.
One of the focuses of my (history) major is holocaust history. What did you major in?
