Q. BS"D Dear Rabbi, Shalom, A friend asked me the following question. A Jewish woman who recently had a baby girl from a union with a non Jew. She wants to name her baby girl. What is the advised procedure? When announcing it should the name of her mother be used? Thanks,
A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a advised not to give the name to the baby in the normal procedure by the reading of the Torah, but rather for the Minyan to recite Tehilim at the end of the Tefilah praying for Teshuvah and then proceeding with the giving of the name. It is correct to use the mothers name.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a
