Some think that Purim is the next holiday, ah but there’s one that falls out (on the calendar) before them both.
A special Sabbath called Shabbat Shekalim which is the precursor to Valentine’s Day (cause and effect).

While reading Moshe Idel's book Kabbalah and Eros I discovered this very interesting note.
13. The numerical equivalent of sheqel like nefesh – soul, is 430.
The reference to division of the mediators concerns between the sensory and intellective world,
i.e., “half for you, half for God,” is to BT, Pesahim, fol. 68b.
Quoting R. Isaac of Acre.
So the gematria of shekel is 430, and for nefesh (soul) 430.
But then I said (to no one in particular), why would we give a half shekel? Wouldn't we give a whole shekel?
It was then I caught a glimpse into the concept of the soul mate. half!
