[UPDATE 2017: This monthly “aid” for searchers has been replaced first by “Yo Searchers! Need Help?” Then to use a word closer to our cultural Filipino/Tagalog word for strangers, we resorted to “Hoy” shortened to “Oy!” And it became — “Oy Searchers! Need Help?” for every month of every year. The original intention was to help web visitors find the topic (search term) they entered that made them land on many websites including this website.
Rather than figuring out a witty title for every month such as–
- June Search
- May Day
- Not for April Fools
- The “Aids” of March
- Help for February Searchers
- SOS for our FWH! – January Searches
—we resorted to a uniform title after running out of ideas and confusing searchers. It is not surprising the visitors still click this link in past years, there is much to learn from answers provided to past searches. Go check!—Admin1]
——————
This “SOS” is not meant to ask for help for us; it is meant to extend a helping hand to our “FWH” — “Frequent Website Habitues”. There are those who have visited and returned and returned, remembering topics and have often been successful in digging out articles. There are others who have had difficulty finding what they came back for.
Admittedly, our posts could be better organized and we will continue working on a better format. For now, on our ADMIN “DashBoard” we see the search words that lead to our site, and see what FWH read and come back to reread or miss finding altogether.
Here are sample search words for which we are providing the link:

Here are sample “Searches” which yielded no results; if you’re the one concerned or even if you’re not but the title interests or intrigues you, please read the post and leave a reply; feedback is helpful whether good or bad; otherwise it’s like writing love letters left unrequited.

SEARCHES ON HEBREW TRANSLATIONS:
- “artscroll tanach read online free download”As for a FREE DOWNLOAD, the previous searcher [who put in “Artscroll”] might have been looking for “HIS NAME TANAKH” by Benmara, because that is the FREE DOWNLOAD; please go to hearoyisrael.net and follow Benmara’s instructions on how to download his latest 8.0 version of HNT.
- for “artscroll tanach” you have to go to their website artscroll.com and order from them, they have quite a wide variety of Hebrew Bibles, of all sizes, in English and Hebrew, or English only.
- for “artscroll tanach” you have to go to their website artscroll.com and order from them, they have quite a wide variety of Hebrew Bibles, of all sizes, in English and Hebrew, or English only.
- As for 2 searchers who wrote “my name tanakh, hard back version” and “his name tanakh in print?” — you might have read Q&A: His Name Tanakh – Translator’s Notes where we announced that we printed a few paperback copies of HNT 8.0 version, distributed free for those who could not afford the printing/mailing cost; we could reprint orders for those who can afford to pay both mailing/printing cost. The printing cost is P407.00 (Philippine currency), about US$10. Email us at sinai6000@gmail.com and leave your mailing address please. We will figure out how you will pay us.
- “the book of bereshiyth translated to english” – We recommend only two Hebrew Bibles in this website, ArtScroll Tanach and His Name Tanakh; as we’ve explained in previous posts:
- [As indicated in our “Translations Used in this Website” we use 2 Hebrew translations:
- One is “AST” or ArtScroll Tanach, the Stone Edition, which is available in book form of all sizes from ArtScroll.com – ArtScroll Library www.artscroll.com/Mesorah Publications. AST like most Jewish translations avoids using the Tetragrammaton Name, substituting “HaShem” instead, so we use it only as a supplementary translation when HNT is not so clear in some verses.
- The other is “HNT” – His Name Tanakh by Benmara of hearoyisrael.net who offers a free download of his translation. Our choice of HNT as we have explained in other posts is that — having read “LORD” as a substitute word in Christian translations, we wanted a Hebrew translation where we can read YHWH instead of substitute words like HaShem and LORD. It was a blessing enough to have found such a translation, but an added blessing that it was offered FREE, downloadable from the translator’s website.
