I know that Yaakov son Levi was married to Adina. So Adina was the mother of all kohamin and Leviim (although it could be Levi had more than one wife – and indeed their is an opinion that he had 2 wives and one of them was named Osa – based on possuk: asher yolda “Osa” l’Levi).
I was wondering (due to personal reasons) about the name Shoshana – when did the name start, any famous people had it? Can anyone give me info about my name?
I simply know that Rivka was called/referred to as “Shoshana bein haChochim” – a rose amongst the thorns (Lavan & Besuel).
I think the first recorded person named Shoshana is in the sefer hitzoni “Megilat Shoshana”. The sefer was included as perek 13 in Sefer Daniel in the Septuagint (obviously not in our Daniel and not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls Daniel fragments). It is an interesting story about a woman named Shoshana Bat Hilkiya wife of Yehoiakim, accused of adultery and saved by a young Daniel who finds contradictions between the testimonies of her accusers.
The sefer is not mentioned explicitly by early Chazal but seems to be what the Ramban is referring to in Devarim 21:14 as “Sefer Shoshan”. Hope this helps
????? ?? ?????
Wife of ?????
Around the time Levi was niftar
As seen in the Seder HaDoros
My mother! Believe me, she is quite famous!
Yaakov son of Levi? Or Levi son of Yaakov?
Whats the source that Levi was married to someone called Adina?
Adina in the Piyutim is a reference to Esav. Also she was the mother of Rochel AND Leah.
interesting that you too are a “rose”
If you are a Rose, I comprehend your Hebrew name to be “Vered”
“Shoshana” is a Lily as in “Jacob’s Lily” being recited in 6 weeks from tonite, or from tomorrow nite in Yerusholayim & Shushan.
