The Secrets of Hebrew Words

About this book

Ever since the earliest times Jewish scholars have looked to the Hebrew language as a source of holiness and a wellspring of wisdom. Both letters and words it has always been assumed they have hidden messages and secrets to be sought after as if we are opening a shell to extract the fruit. Rabbi Benjamin Blech has gathered many examples of the meanings hidden within Hebrew words and has explained them to the modern readereven those who do not know any Hebrew. The result is both a fine illustration of this activity as well as a book rich with Jewish insight and teachings.
