ArchivesJust wondering about Albert. Could it be from Arabic?
Al-Burak is The Blessed. Al-brecht sounds like Arabic
with a Yiddish intonation. (Berech in Hebrew means
"has been blessed" and also means knee, the origin of this
word, since to receive the blessing you had to get on your
knees before the king or the god.
At the beginning of the Jewish "silence" prayers said 3 times
a day, the knee is bent while saying the first word of the prayer
"Baruch" which is the present tense of being blessed.
