addendum

Regarding the previous post detailing Asher's enormity, I just made an interesting connection to one of the verses about the Biblical Asher...here is Jacob's blessing on Asher from Genesis 49:20:

Asher's food will be rich;
he will provide delicacies fit for a king.

And consume them, apparently!

Ha! Maybe the meaning and history of a name really do count for something! (Luckily, Asher means 'happiness'!)
