THE MEANING BEHIND ASHER'S HEBREW AND ENGLISH NAMES

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!
