Your Name Is Your Blessing

Hebrew Names and Their Mystical Meanings

Beschreibung

While there are many Jewish books of names, Your Name Is Your Blessing is different. It uses the secrets of Kabbalah, the mystical teachings of spiritual masters of old, to explain the profound meanings hidden in every person’s name. A name tells a story that captures a person’s character and personality, and in Your Name Is Your Blessing Benjamin and Elaine Blech provide the gematria—the total numerical value of the name’s letters, which is the starting point kabbalistic analysis—for hundreds of names, as well as biblical words, phrases, and blessings associated with these gematria. Useful for those exploring their own names and identities, as well as for parents searching for the perfect name for their child, Your Name Is Your Blessing is an essential reference.
