Kitzur
Sh'lah teaches that it is a
source of merit to recite a Torah verse that symbolizes one's
name. The verse should either contain the person's name or
else begin and end with the first and last letters of the
name.
Rabbi Haselah HaKodsoh (1534-1572) states that for
every Hebrew name, there is a corresponding sentence in the
Bible. Most sentences come from the Psalms. Legend says
that when a person dies and goes to Heaven, he will be asked
different questions, however, he will not remember much. We
say our corresponding verse in Heaven to help us remember our
name. Throughout Tanach, a name represents a person's true
essence. So, in remembering our names, we also remember who we
are.
Eli will research your name, find your
corresponding verse, and transcribe it in Hebrew on specially
processed parchment using quill and pen. Your Hebrew name will
be written over the sentence in either Hebrew or English.
Finished size depends on the verse but is approximately 4" by
12".
