Answer Question

Answer 1

His first name derives from the root of Baruch which, on the surface means 'blessed'. However, the way in which his name is spelt translates more as 'lightning'. It is also related to 'kneel down' or 'bring down'...NOT blessed. So what is he bringing down? His surname means 'crooked', 'zigzag', or 'not in a straight line'...oh dear.
