Rabbi Aharon Handalman's expertise with Torah code-rearranging words and letters in the Bible-has uncovered a man's name. Who is Yosef Kobinski, and why did God hide his name in His sacred text?

The Coast Guard crewmen, bright orange specks in a wet, gray world, moved about the tilting slippery deck with ease. They were on a mission to locate a yacht, the Why Knot Now, in distress off the Florida Keys. A sailing ad- visory was in effect and the yacht, manned by a couple and their teenage daughter, had radioed that their compass appeared to be in error, because they were lost and didn’t know which way to go to find land.
