Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Middle of the RoadComment: For our purposes, this book was perfect. It contains a short piece of information about each name, which usually answered the questions we had. If you're looking for in-depth interpretation about the name and it's origins, this is not your text. If you're looking for the most basic information and background about a large number of names, this is your book. It makes a great starting point for more involved research.Customer Rating: Summary: Onomasticians, a book for your library!Comment: If you research the history and meaning of names AND use Gematria, your results will be exquisitive! You will need this book as an auxilary.
Customer Rating: Summary: Incredible Book!Comment: I would recommend this book to anyone. While reading it with a circle of friends, we realized that many of the descriptions attributed to each name were amazingly accurate, and some of my friends even admited that though certain descriptions came as a shock to us, they personally recognized it as part of their personality. Even if you don't believe in the deep meanings this book has to offer, it's always just fun to read with or without friends. as always, great job Rabbi Blech!Customer Rating: Summary: A beautiful resource for people looking for meaningful namesComment: What I love about this book is that it does not just give you the simple meanings. It also gives a pasuk (a verse from the Torah) that applies to the name and give you the deeper meanings of the name and blessings associated with it. I used Your Name Is Your Blessing to help find a name for my second child. I have since lent it out many times. It seems to have disappeared, so now that I am expecting again, please G-d, I am buying it again because I enjoyed it so much last time. This is a very special baby naming book. It is one you will never regret buying. Confession: I even read it way after my child my born and named, simply because I enjoyed it so much.Customer Rating: Summary: NOTHING ELSE LIKE ITComment: AT LAST A BOOK THAT GIVES YOU MUCH MUCH MORE THAN NAMES AND THEIRMEANINGS! sIURE YOU,VE GOT TO BE A BELIEVER IN KABBALAH AND JEWISHMYSTICISM, BUT HEY WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE IF YOU TRY TO SEE WHAT THIS REMARKABLE TRADITION HAS TO SAY. As an aside I tried comparing a dozen of my friends with what the book says their names tell you about them and I found it frighteningly and fascinatingly accurate most of them.... This is really a book that started hours of discussion in our study group and I cant recommend it highly enough . It sems to be runing out in bookstores so grab it it Amazon if its avasilable!
