Welcome to the world, August! Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla announced the birth of their second daughter with a touching family photo today on Facebook today. The Facebook CEO’s wife gave birth this month and named the girl August. The family photo includes their eldest daughter Max playing with the newborn. Zuckerberg will be taking a two-month paternity leave following the birth.

Dear August,

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what’s wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We’re optimists about your generation and the future.

But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That’s why it’s important to make time to go outside and play.

You will be busy when you’re older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you’ve tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you’re a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.

Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don’t spend it worrying too much about the future. You’ve got us for that, and we’ll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.

August, we love you so much and we’re so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.

Love,

Mom and Dad

  1. How dare you post a mazel tov for the tragedy of a child being born to a Jew who has married out of his religion!!!!!!!
    This website should be blacklisted for promoting any hint of celebration of something that is nothing short of a literal tragedy!
    Where is the administrator of this site?!? Absolutely unforgivable…

  3. Why in the world would you post this on the site? Have you no shame? Who works for you? A non jewish baby born to a Jewish father. Take it down, you are ridiculous! This is not the NY Post

  4. Actually, every human born in the world is a mazal tov. Doesn’t pirkey avot say “every human was created in the image of God”?

  5. @Nechama Sittner, WOW. Just wow. Harsh, much?? Maybe you should reevaluate your life and try to figure out why you have so much hate. SMH.

  6. @Yehudis A. Where is the simcha in the jew fathering a child with a non jew? I dont know what the halacha is, but there was a time when people sat shiva over their child marrying out.

  7. I get it. It is a “simcha” much the same way this website calls the birth of a child to the north korean dictator a simcha and wishes mazel tov.
