Hi everyone... this is my first post and let me first say that I'm happy to be here.  From what I can tell, the members here are knowledgeable and friendly - just the kind of folks I want to be around.

My question has to do with the GunsAmerica website.  Just a few minutes ago I visited that site for the first time and noticed some symbols in the far top-right corner.  Are those Arabic letters?  I can't tell what they are and I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed them?

Thanks for your replies and I look forward to becoming a more active member of your forum community.

Don't know why it's there but it looks like Hebrew.

It is Hebrew, and I also have no idea what it is there for. I used to read Hebrew, but this makes no sense to me.

Lawson, head on over to the new member forum we need fresh meat to abuse would like to know more about you!

Doesn't it say "IDF Approved" ?

I copied the Hebrew letters, and when I paste them they come up as Baruch HaShem.  A quick search came up with a translation of "Blessed be the Name" (or Blessed be God).

That's all I got.

BAC, that matches with the image properties for that graphic.  I'm using Windows & IE8 and if you right-click on the image you can see that the graphic's file name is 'bh.png' .  Thanks for your help.

Hashem is actually code - instead of using the name of God (Adonai, spelled in Hebrew (right to left) Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh) in anything but a prayer, Orthodox Jews will say Hashem - "The Name". So Baruch Hashem is actually saying Praise God.

So, from this we can learn, the owner/operator of the site is Jewish, probably Conservative or Orthodox.

Interesting. NBD, but interesting.

Yes it is, not just that he's a Jew, but the whole translation bit.
