Gavriel Savit: Hi there. My name is Gavriel Savit. Gavriel is a name that a lot of people struggle to pronounce. So I usually tell them that the first syllable contains the vowel that you have in the word avocado. Think gavocado, and you'll be great. I also sometimes tell people that despite my appearance as a six-four, rather large bearded gentlemen, if you're trying to think about how to pronounce my name, you should think of a French woman, Gavriel. The meaning of the name is beautiful. It's a name of an angel. The literal meaning is strength of God, or God is my strength. And, in the Jewish tradition, there are a number of angels who are thought of as situated in different locational points around the viewer, around God, however you'd like to think about it. And Gavriel is there on the left all the time. So you can think of me on your left hand, whenever you would like.
