Hashem has different names, each serving a distinct purpose. There is a forty-two lettered name (sheim mem-beit of Hashem which according to the Kabbalists, is the holiest of all His names. It is comprised of the first letters of the forty-two words of the “Ana becho’ach” prayer composed by the Tanaitic sage Rabbi Nechunia ben Hakanah. The Siddur, at the end of each of the seven verses of “Ana becho’ach,” prints an acrostic of the first letters of the six words of the verse. These letters, according to the Kabbalists, are the forty-two letters which spell this exalted name.

In the Gemara (Kiddushin 71a) Rabbi Yehudah states in Rav’s name: “The forty-two lettered name of Hashem is entrusted only to him who is pious, meek, middle-aged, free from bad temper, sober and not insistent on his rights. And he who knows this name is heedful thereof (not to use it lightly), and observes it in purity, is beloved above and popular below, feared by man, and he inherits two worlds, this world and the future world.”

Furthermore, Hashem created the world with this forty-two lettered name (Zohar II, 234b), and it facilitates a Jew’s endeavors to ascend spiritually from level to level. For this reason, every morning as we prepare to ascend spiritually, through prayer, we recite “Ana becho’ach” before “Eizehu mekoman.” Likewise for the ascent through the minchah prayers, before “Ashrei” we say karbanot (portions dealing with sacrifices) and conclude with “Ana becho’ach.” Before going to sleep we recite “Ana becho’ach” in Kriat Shema al Hamitah, since the neshamah prepares itself to be rejuvenated and to rise to a higher spiritual sphere. And on Friday night, after reciting six Psalms corresponding to the six days of the week (see Siddur Otzar Hatefilot), as we prepare to enter the holiness of Shabbat, “Ana becho’ach” is also recited.

The forty-two encampments correspond to the forty-two letters of Hashem’s name. Leaving Egypt to reach Eretz Yisrael was a process of elevation (aliyah) and the forty-two lettered name helped the Jews in this endeavor.

Interestingly enough, Douglas Adamas, the deceased author of the book Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, described himself as a radical atheist. Hashem always has the last laugh.

Popa

Lol

Im right Your Wrong

I apologize. Most kids here who spell like you and worse dont have dyslexia.

Belev Echad

I would recommend searching his name on torah.org. It will bring up any articles that mention him.

Wow thats $36,020,000 in maaser money! Can definitely help a lot of poor people with that!

Your age will also be a factor in which yeshiva you can attend.

Toi

Or maybe that woman is nuts? Or maybe the postal laws in Israel are nuts?

Popa

Thanks 😛

Funny, we are superficial because we want a slim girl, but the fat girls aren’t superficial in that they cant stop fressing fattening food and monitor their food intake?!

10-3am?! What is a young teenager doing out of the house after 11 or 12 at night?!

“A woman is allowed to dress in a way that she feels pretty.”

Where to start?!

I guess some women (you included by your own admission) no longer care what Hashem has to say about things. Its actually quite apparent by the way some people behave that their choices are based on doing what they “feel” like.

Human shmuman you are talking shtusim. The Torah tells us how to feel when to feel how not to feel when not to feel. Its not inhuman to delay your feelings. Actually if anything that is the beauty and greatness of human beings. We can control ourselves and delay our feelings and urges. An animal MUST do what it feels like doing regardless of consequences or other factors. We are humans and we can train ourselves to do Hashems bidding regardless of what the outside world decides as human norms.

Most shuls have minyanim in the ladies section during the week. If they dont and it is a locked area why would they unlock it for one girl? I dont know who your father is but he would have to be pretty well connected and chashuv to arrange such a thing I would think.

Is it your Hebrew bday?

Well you sorta missed the Thanksgiving sales but either way you can see if theres a clothing item he needs that will fit the budget. Maybe get him a sweater or tie that was mentioned. Buy what he needs before extras…

Popa

Just eat a green ices. So much simpler and more enjoyable.

Basyechida

Then it seems like you should buy a sefer or set depending on your budget that he would really enjoy. Maybe ask his chavrusa?

Itche

I hope u made a hoadama on the cranberries.

It is my opinion, due to the fact that I find that e-reading is slow and my absorption in the material as well as my retention is much better with printed works. Learning gemara requires getting “into it” and poring over the volume. I think if you do an experiment you will find that your experience with a book will be much better (and I think more fulfilling) than digital reading.

I also read a bit about this. Time has a good article worth reading. Google “Do E-Books Make It Harder to Remember What You Just Read?”

Interjection

I never attended a BY so I dont know. I find that hard to believe but if its true then these BYs are wasting their time…But I dont see why the girls arent strongly encouraged to read up on it on their own. There must be a few good sefarim in English or Hebrew that talk about it…

I mean really there arent that many mitzvos asked of a girl to perform….

How about ” How many 0’s do you want me to put on this blank check?”

Tzaddiq

I guess the menorah is just a side show to the more important element of ess and fress.

The day’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. [4][5] Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that “Black Friday” indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are “in the black”.
