Abe married her and she became his "Princess" = Sarah. Sarah or Sarai is a title and not a name. Jessica or Yiskah is indeed the name of the wife of Abraham. As for the tattoos...Its contrary to Jewish faith and I find it idiot that people use our faith but never wish to understand it. These "Kabbalah" entertainers are nothing less than morons. Kabbalah is NOT a faith and to use it for the sake of obtaining a tattoo is childish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-11524678706484727892011-05-26T13:03:52.284+03:002011-05-26T13:03:52.284+03:00The name Yiska isn't so uncommon, I know 3... ...The name Yiska isn't so uncommon, I know 3...

My English name is Jessica and my Hebrew name is Yiskah. Glad to know that the name Yiskah is still out there and circulating, even if it's not all that common or known.<br /><br />And yes, it is a Biblical name, although I've heard conflicting things. I've read that it was another name for Sarai/Sarah, as well as Abraham's brother's wife's sister's name. It seems that we can all agree that it appears in Genesis, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-60795746468084899612010-01-08T23:27:44.642+02:002010-01-08T23:27:44.642+02:00While working in Ra'anana I met an obstetricia...While working in Ra'anana I met an obstetrician whose gorgeous smile almost convinced me to do a gender-change(!) Her name? Yiska. She said 'You can look it up', but I was no longer capable of etymology by that point. Glad to read a happy ending here.yonatanhttp://www.xanga.com/jsolbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-24029340259355484442010-01-08T19:42:16.401+02:002010-01-08T19:42:16.401+02:00this is interesting.

Maybe too well, as this Hebrew name is quite unpopular nowadays.<br /><br />You're of course correct, though.

Furthermore, in the Hebrew translation of Shakespeare's <i>Shylock</i>, the name of his daughter Jessica is translated as Yisca. So I actually think this tattoo is incredibly well-researched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
