Steg Belsky eskriviw:
<<I will now quote for you from the part of the Yom Kipur liturgy
[...]
they would kneel and bow and give thanks and fall on their
faces, saying "blessed is the name of his honored kingship for ever
and
ever!">>
That is exactly the passage I was referring to. Being at the
college, I merely quoted it from memory, because my Mahhzor was at
home :))
<<But anyway, back in the day in Biblical times, the Name was common
knowledge. In the Scroll of Ruth, for instance, you find in 2:4
Bo`az
and his workers using it in greeting: "Y--H be with you!" and "may
Y--H
bless you!".>>
Absolutely true.
