Jason Aronson, 1999 - Family & Relationships - 313 pages
Rabbi Benjamin Blech and his wife Elaine have gathered material on the most popular Hebrew first names, offering the reader a mystical view of each name. They give the English translation of the name, the gematria of the name and the Torah verses that contain that number. This book could be used as a guide to choosing first names for Jewish babies as well as a reference tool for rabbis who officiate at baby-naming ceremonies.
