Mazal Tov to Mordechai and Shira Hocheimer on the birth on their son and my grandson מיכאל שמואל יעקב (Michoel Shmuel Yaakov) born on the Fourth of July (22 Tamuz).
מיכאל for my father-in-law
שמואל יעקב - for Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg, whose Yahrtzeit is Shiva Asar B'Tamuz (1 July 1999).
Also since he was born on the Fourth of July, Dod Shmuel (Uncle Sam) and "Yanky" (Yankee) Doodle are appropriate.
