B"H

"Hey Shlomo,

"... I have been curious for some time about the way you start your posts with 'B"H.' After a little googling, and coming up empty, I'm even more curious.

Plodding for Him,

Hey PEW,

Thanks for stopping by and saying a few kind words, they are greatly appreciated. In regards to the abbreviation B"H, it's a Jewish thing.

B”H is an abbreviation for Baruch Hashem which, in Hebrew, means “Blessed be the Name” (or Blessed be G_d).

In the Black Church one oftens hears the expression, "First giving honor to GOD." This is usually followed by a holy "shout out" to the Pastor, the Deacons and anyone else present who may be deemed worthy of recognition. B"H - Baruch HaShem is the Jewish equivalent.

Thanks for asking, PEW. You can find additional information via Google if you include the keywords -  a Jewish abbreviation.

Blessings,

Shlomo
