Your Name Is Your Blessing: Hebrew Names and Their Mystical Meanings represents the first time that the secrets of the Kabbalah, the mystical teachings of Jewish spiritual leaders, were introduced to the general public for the purpose of explaining the profound meanings hidden in every personâs name. Your Name is Your Blessing remains alone in its application of Kabbalistic teachings to the choice and understanding of oneâs name. A name tells a story that captures a personâs character and personality, and in Your Name Is Your Blessing, Benjamin and Elaine Blech provide a guide to understanding what your name says about you and your life. The Blechs give the gematriaâ"the total numerical value of a word, which is the starting point for kabbalistic analysisâ"for hundreds of names, as well as Biblical words, phrases, and blessings associated with this numerical value.

Industry Reviews

This edition, with a new introduction, is one of many resources that can help in the Jewish naming process. It is unique in that it covers the mystical, or kabbalistic, meaning of each name, the premise being that a name is a book and can predict the type of person the child will be. More than 700 names are featured, in Hebrew and English, from ancient biblical to modern Israeli. This book would be useful for traditional (Orthodox) Jewish families in unlocking mystical teachings. The personal qualities in the names and ldquo;the blessingrdquo; (what lies ahead for the child) will be of interest. Recommended as needed for public and congregational libraries.
