Book Description
Say you want to give your baby and Irish name-either because you of Irish descent or because you simply like the sound of Sinead or Finnega. But where do you find an Irish name? Sprinkled throughout most naming dictionaries are names that seem to be Irish, but it's difficult to tell: A name that one book calls Irish might be called Scottish in another, or simply Celtic. And it's even harder to find Irish names beyond the usual Kevin and Kathleen and Kelly. Instead of a handful of Irish names within a universal name book, this book offers a universe of Irish names from which to choose. Using the same innovative structure that made its parent, Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the reigning authority on baby names-and written with just as much flair and wit-Beyond Shannon & Sean provides the most comprehensive guide to Irish names ever published in America: From Annie to Aine, from Seamus to James-the most popular names in Ireland today, and why there are no Irish girls named Erin or Colleen. From Murphy Brown to the hills of Donegal-melodious place names and family names, and why no one (not even an O'Kane) ever uses Gofraidh. From Finn MacCool to Sinead O'Connor-names inspired by Irish legends and literature, and real people who have made their names famous. Plus a much-needed guide book to obscure Celtic pronunciations, and more...

Book Description
Your Name Is Your Blessing: Hebrew Names and Their Mystical Meanings represents the first time that the secrets of the Kabbalah, the mystical teachings of Jewish spiritual leaders, were introduced to the general public for the purpose of explaining the profound meanings hidden in every person’s name. Even now, Your Name is Your Blessing remains alone in its application of Kabbalistic teachings to the choice and understanding of one’s name. A name tells a story that captures a person’s character and personality, and Your Name Is Your Blessing, Benjamin and Elaine Blech provide a guide to understanding what your name says about you and your life. The Blechs give the gematria—the total numerical value of a word, which is the starting point for kabbalistic analysis—for hundreds of names, as well as Biblical words, phrases, and blessings associated with this numerical value.

Book Description
Years ago when most Jews lived in fairly close communities and were more observant of religious rituals, couples having a baby found it easy to get information about having a bris if the baby was a boy. Now with many young Jewish couples living far from their parents and home communities and having less knowledge about and observance of Jewish customs, such information is not as readily available. That is why this book has been written. Its goal is to provide clear, accurate information about all aspects of the modern bris ceremony. The information in this book will help couples 1) make decisions about having a bris, 2) choose a mohel, and 3) understand the medical and religious aspects of this significant family event.
