Summary: Excellent and interesting new take on a name book
Comment: I found this very interesting both as a baby naming book and as an interesting and enlightening (and
even fun!) insight into friends' and family names. In addition to the usual content of
Hebrew-English name books, this book adds the additional "spin" of giving insight into such names
based on the recognized Jewish mystical concept of "gematria" (which Rabbi Blech explains very well
in the preface and which uses the numerical value of Hebrew letters and thus of Hebrew words and
names to make linkages between different concepts with like numerical values -- I'm not explaining
it well, so you'll have to read it there!).

Summary: Wasted Time
Comment: Dont buy this book for its academic content. A load of emotional garbage based on unfounded
superstition, bells & whistles; where the name meanings and purported explanations are all basically
the same except maassaged to sound different. This book is just another money making exploitive
exercise with no inherant value or purpose. The fact that Rabbi Blechs wife has lent her name to
the title only serves to diminish Rabbi Blechs reputation as a fine scholar and orator.
