The Sages comment that the
dove represents the Jewish people. Just as the dove found no
rest for the sole of its foot, so the Jews will find no solace in exile. Just as
the dove returned to the ark seeking shelter, so the Jews will return to the
Land from exile. The Hebrew word for dove is Yona, which represents not only the
Jewish nation, but heir yearnings' for peace and tranquility in their homeland.
Yona is a popular Hebrew name used by both genders! Learn the meaning behind
