Deborah Kerbel: Hello, my name is Deborah Kerbel, and I'd love to tell you a little bit about my name. Deborah is an ancient Hebrew name, which is a symbol of a bee who seeks out the sweet in life. My older sister, who was born profoundly deaf, chose my name out of a selection my parents had made because Deborah was the easiest one for her to pronounce. My last name is Kerbel. And an easy way for you to remember how to pronounce it is that it rhymes with the word gerbil. and that's how I got my name.
