Excerpt: ... What's In a Name? The Namesake Delights Second-generation children have an interesting dilemma, being tied to their ancestral homeland through their parents while simultaneously trying to forge a new niche in their birthplace. Of course, their efforts to do so cause clashes with their family. This topic has been covered extensively from foreign authors and moviemakers, but never as deftly as it was done in The Namesake , the new film by acclaimed Indian director Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, Vanity Fair), based on the bestselling novel by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Now, Solomon is completely aware of the enormous difficulty of the task before him. He knows his people-they are run Trnn ^nv, literally, a "heavy" people-difficult, recalcitrant, unbending, obstinate, and demanding. I have spoken of the namesake of our beloved Haham Solomon Gaon, Solomon the King, known as vy>N too DDnn, the wisest man of all, because a curious parallel obtains between the two of them. In a sense, what we have before us is a Tale of Two Solomons. Haham Solomon in so very many ways relived the career of King Solomon the Wise. * He possessed a ymvyit?, a hearing, understanding heart. He looked at people as living, breathing, feeling individuals, not merely as ciphers, as indistinguishable members of some larger ag ...
