If memory serves, GunsAmerica is an alliance or organization of pawn shops formed to more efficiently move guns.  Pawn shops are frequently owned and operated by those of the Jewish faith, so it is no great surprise that there would be a reference to God's blessing written in Hebrew somewhere on the site.

The logic of the "code" interests me.

They have a prohibition about using the name of God in other than a formal prayer, so they use the "code" word instead.

Sort of like we might pick a code word for "shit", as in    "I need to take a Pelosi".  Everyone knows what we mean, even God.

It has to do with the whole "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain" thing. If you're just shooting the breeze, even while taking a Pelosi, the Orthodox do not to risk taking the name in vain.

My point was that if you are thinking shit and say Pelosi we all know what you are thinking, even God knows, so using a code word isn't fooling him....you wanted to take His name in vain, but used a code word to get off on a technicality.
