WIY, I will now address my troubles with the contents of your response, which, had you read my comments objectively, would have, I believe precountered some of you contentions. We say “Borchu es Hashem Hamvorach”-what does Borchu mean in this context?-it is a command for the tsibbur to do something related to the word Boruch-what, if not to bless Hashem, is the command?- Hashem asked Reb Yishmoel to bless Him-Well, I guess you have to tell Hashem that He doesnt understand Hashem, because Hashem doesnt need blessing, so how could Hashem ask someone to bless Hashem-glad you know more than Hashem about Hashem!! The contsruct of the word Baruch is the same as the construct of the word Kasuv-just like it seems to think that the words that are written are the source of all words, then it seems equally innacurate to say that the word Baruch means source of all blessing.
