I was under the impression that B"H at the top of letters etc. stood for Bezras Hashem ("With G-d's Help")?
|
it also means Baruch Hashem a common answer for "how are you doing?" "'baruch hashem' thanks for asking!" (Thank god)
|
Thank you so much for bringing this up!
I see this (B"H) all over the place and didn't know what it was.
Now I know.
|
And I was under the impression that B"H stands for Beshem Hashem meaning "with the name of Hashem"!!!
Which one is more appropriate to use בס״ד or ב"ה?
|
I thought it stood for b'ezras hashem. 'With the help of G-d."
|
Curious Yet Willing to Learn is correct.
B"H is the Hebrew translation of the Aramaic abbreviation BS"D: "B'siyyata di'shmaya" - which literally translates to "with the help of Heaven". In other words, the "B" stands for "B'ezrat," NOT "Baruch".
|
Which one is more appropriate to use בס״ד (BS"D) or ב"ה (B"H) when writing a letter to a shul or community centre?
|
Either is perfectly acceptable. The Rebbe used to put ב"ה on his correspondence.
|
Please tell me what the " means.

B"H

" I think may be used as Hebrew acronyms.
Other places where the "quotation marks" may be found is in acronyms of acclaimed Jewish Rabbis/Sages/Scholars:
Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki): רש"י
Rambam (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon ):רמב"ם
B'ezrat Hashem: B"H/ב"ה
You may use the acronyms as words/nicknames, and to signify that the used words are acronyms, one may place the "marks" there. But ask a Rabbi to be sure. All the best!
