Can you clarify what you mean by "Jewish nameday dates?"

As far as I know *lots* of Jewish names have a special day once/year
relating to their first name. I know there exist calendars for such
things but I can't find one over here. I think these name days are
even relating to the prayers but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps;

| I just thought of something.
During Sukkot, each day a new "visitor" is welcomed to the
Sukkah...they are called the "Ushpezin". So each day is designated for
a different forefather and (in our family) fore"mother".
That's the closest that I think we come to having a day designated for
a specific person/name.

In some siddurim [prayer books], there are a list of names, with
verses associated with them. Could you be referring to this?

If you find one, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
BTW, I assume all this means that someone's expecting good tidings. In
that case, _be'sha'a_tova_u'mutzlachat_ [may all go well and in its proper
time]!

| 973.6 | YES...relating to prayer books | NDLIS3::DKELLER | | Wed Sep 12 1990 15:16 | 12 |

Yes...I guess that those name blessings (name days) are relating to
the siddurim [prayer books].
If I'm able to find such a calendar or any relating book...I'll let you
know.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
