A Chabad couple from Pittsburgh has named their new baby girl born this week after Lori – Leah Kaye, who was murdered last week in a shooting at the Chabad Center of Poway, California.
Chaya and Judah Cowen told COLlive they were inspired to name their new baby girl Noa Leah after Lori because she exemplified someone “that every parent would want their child to turn out to be like.”
“We had gone through many different names,” Judah Cowen, who owns an event planning and catering company with his wife, Chaya, told COLlive. “We actually had a different name picked out, but when we learned about Lori, we decided that to name our baby after her just felt right, especially since it was still during the Shiva.”
