Faith
The Name Amitai
Question
To the honor of Rabbi Binyamin Shmueli: I submitted a question about two months ago and, for some reason, did not receive a reply. My question was: what is the meaning of the name Amitai for a boy, of course, and where does it appear in the sources? I would be grateful to receive a reply as soon as possible. Many thanks.
Answer
Greetings and blessings,
The father of the prophet Jonah is called Amitai, and the kabbalists said that Amitai is Elijah the Prophet, who was a man of truth, and that this is one of the names of Elijah the Prophet.
With blessings - Binyamin Shmueli
