He said about the name chosen for the baby: "We chose to call him Aryeh David. Aryeh, after my wife's grandfather, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Chait. An outstanding educator and scholar. A lover of Torah and people.
""The lion is a symbol of kingship in nature and David is a symbol of the peak of kingship among the people. A leader who could have been content with kingship over the tribe of Judah, but fought to find the keys to gathering the entire people, to uniting all the tribes in Jerusalem. David chose national unity instead of personal revenge and thus became a historic leader who shaped the identity of the people for generations.".
Haddad added a personal expression of gratitude: "We are full of gratitude to God Almighty for the privilege and great gift. And I, for the fourth time, am full of admiration for my wife and once again understand how fortunate it is that human existence does not depend on us men.".
