What is the equivalent Hebrew name for the English name of Edward?

Question
I am Jewish and I want to know ... can I bring upon myself curses or bad luck if I add to my prayers for health the name of Jesus and keep or read a new testament bible in my home. Someone told me the Talmud says it's bad luck. What does the Talmud say?

Question
1. If every thing that happens is the will of G-D, does that mean that a child who is abused, is abused bec. G-D wants that to happen? 2. Should an orthodox jew buy these segulah/kemeiahs (like the hand with G-ds name, are they to be taken seriously??? Thank you for your time, I eagerly await a response. C.K

Question
Thank you.But when you say spirituality is something that "must be aspired to and toiled over", it seems to conflict with the notion of legacy, that Jews by dint of being born Jews have  a spiritual superiority, placed higher than the gentile in the spiritual hierarchy. I understand that they, the chosen Jews, must still labor toward becoming spiritual; but you state that they are from the start on a higher ground, with greater potential. My main qustion has not been fully answered. I still don't understand why hashem would want to sustain a world, and in fact will such a world into being, whereupon less than one percent of human beings are aware of  his torah or commandments. Why would hashem want such a tiny minority to be receptive to and have access to the truth of torah?????Yours Truly,Valerie Schweiter

Question
Dear Rov I remember at young age just after my bar mitzva getting excited before Rosh Hashana and deciding to make kabolos on myself. Like an idiot I made about 13 Kabolos which in no time of course i forgot about them. but now about 10 years later i remeber that i also imposed a knas on myself for every time i would be over like every time i listen yo radio i would give 50p to tzedaka. does that mean I now owe thousands of pounds to tzedaka?? would the hataras nedarim when i annulled all future vows promisses etc i made before the kaollos cancelled this one or the hataras nedarim after. or if not what to I do I dont even remember all the exact kabolos???? I also would like to ask, I am sure that at some point in my life I have borrowed money to buy a snack or something and forgot to pay back. How would I rectify that
