Ba'alat Shem Tova

Nessie, Nessie & The Union Of Names

כ"א בתמוז תשס"ז

Moses, Moses [1].

This past week at work, following my entry this past Sunday noting the mystery serpent (nachash) in Illinois called Nessie (meaning, 'my miracle'), I again came across the rather uncommon name Nessie. It was in a nurse's note I was auditing (to abstract data for clinical reimbursement purposes). The nurse's note documented a facility nurse's clinical conversation with another nurse named Nessie who worked in a physician's office.

Such is true life, Mordechai [1].

Esther [1].

Footnote:

[1] Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh on Moses, Moses - "Mordechai, the secret of "once in [Aramaic] translation," is born from the union of the two names "Moses Moses"-"twice in Hebrew." Moses, the redeemer from Egypt, and Moses, the Mashiach (his ultimate rebirth of 7 Adar), unite (in the secret of "without a break between them [i.e., the two names of Moses]") in the darkness of the Persian exile to bear Mordechai, the most essential reappearance of Moses in the Bible (at its end), as taught in Chassidut.

Thus, the four holy names of Purim are Moses, Moses, Mordechai, Esther (the second "Moses"-"the final redeemer"-replaces the wicked Haman, in the secret of "evil becomes the throne of good" in the Messianic era; Mordechai precedes Esther in accordance with their natural order-Mordechai raised Esther-before he is "reborn" as the manifest translation of Moses, through their very union), in correspondence to the secret of the four letters of G-d's essential Name, Havayah ("Moses Moses" is the secret of the "higher union" of the first two letters of G-d's Name Havayah, yud-kei-"the concealed levels are to G-d our G-d"; "Mordechai Esther" is the secret of the "lower union" of the two final letters of G-d's Name, vav-kei-"and the revealed levels are to us and our children"). [Together, the four names Moses, Moses, Mordechai and Esther equal 1,625 = 25 X 65 ("Pure myhrr" = 25 X 26): 65 = G-d's Name Ado-nai, the way we pronounce the Name Havayah, which equals 26 = 2 X 13, Ado-nai = 65 = 5 X 13. Thus, the four above names "enclothe" the essential Name Havayah and give it expression. Together, one Name Havayah and twenty five Names Ado-nai total twenty six Divine Names.]"
