Asher loves playing sports. He plays on a travel soccer league, both tackle and flag football, basketball, and runs cross-country.
He also enjoys music, playing piano, viola, and percussion. He participates in chorus and theater. Last spring, he had one of the lead roles in the Lion King musical at Wissahickon Middle School. In his free time, he writes plays with sisters, Leah and Giselle.
Asher's middle name, Bernard, was given to him in honor of his paternal great-grandfather, Bernard ("Bernie") Ginsburg. Bernard fled Poland/Ukraine during WWII with his brother Arthur. He spent time in Russia and Uzbekistan before traveling to Milwaukee and then to Chicago, where he met Jake's grandmother, Rose. He had two children, Jake's father, Elliot, and Jake's aunt, Vivian.
Here is Bernie with baby Jake, who looks very similar to a curly-haired baby, Asher. See if you can find the picture in the slides below!
Asher's Hebrew name is Asher Dov. Asher means Happy or Fortunate.
Dov means Bear and refers to strength.
Asher was given this name at his Bris (circumcision).
We are so excited to have you at Asher's Bar Mitzvah!
