The Hebrew word for brother, ach, is spelled alef chet:
אח
alef = 1; chet = 8
A parallel appears in the octave of a musical scale. The 1st and the 8th are the same note, the 8th being one level higher. C4 and C5. An octave is comprised of 7 differently named notes, but is not complete (resolved) unless the 8th is included (played).
In the fixed-do system, do re mi fa sol la ti do are fixed names of the notes in the key of C.
Here is a chart with the Hebrew names and their corresponding letters (notes), as well as the numerical values of the names:
| C | D | E | F | G | A | B | C | ||
| do | re | mi | fa | sol | la | si | do | ||
| דו | רה | מי | פה | סול | לה | סי | דו | ||
| 10 | 205 | 50 | 85 | 96 | 35 | 70 | 10 | ||
"When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything".
For example, when you string together (sing) the sum of the notes between (inside) "do" and "do" (the 1 and 8):
205 + 50 + 85 + 96 + 35 + 70 = 541 = Israel (ישראל)
Furthermore, the major scale (Ionian mode) octave is set to the pattern of steps and half steps like this:
whole whole half, whole whole whole half
In Hebrew the words for the steps and half steps are tone (טון) and chetzi (חצי, "half") respectively.
tone (טון) = 65
chetzi (חצי) = 108
Thus the octave (by definition the 1st connected with the 8th) can be summed up by all of its connecting steps:
65 + 65 + 108 + 65 + 65 + 65 + 108 = 541 = Israel
The quintessential mother of all Israel is the Matriarch Rachel, thus she is known as Rachel Imenu, "Rachel our Mother". Mothers are instrincially associated with beginnings, initial bonding, first steps... it all depends on the mother giving life, and giving her love without limit.
First steps:
whole whole half = tone tone chetzi = 65 + 65 + 108 = 238 = Rachel (רחל)
The C Major chord is the root chord of this system. C E G, the 1st 3rd and 5th notes of the scale.
The first inversion of the chord resets this to the 3rd, 5th, and 8th notes of the octave, because C5 replaces C4. One level up changes 1-3-5 to 3-5-8. Visually, then,
135 is the gematria of ha-sulam (הסולם), which is "the scale" (the musical scale). Literally "the ladder". 358 is the gematria of Messiah (משיח). The inversion flips the first [root note] to the last.
The sum of the notes is the same, however, because "do" is the bookend note(s) of this "fixed do" system. The 1st and the 8th are both are "C", which has a gematria of 10. See:
do + mi + sol = 10 + 50 + 96 = 156 = Joseph (יוסף)
Joseph is the foundation of the nation of Israel, the yesod. Nobody departed Egypt without Joseph. The carrying up of bones of Joseph was a living parable for the essense (bones) of the nation being lifted up and out of Egypt. He is called Yosef ha-Tzaddik, Joseph the Righteous. The verse connecting these ideas is Proverbs 10:25.
As the stormy wind which passes, so is the wicked no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation:
Tzaddik yesod olam. Also translated as "the righteous is the foundation of the world". This also appears in a pun on the letter names of the C major chord whose sum is Joseph.
do-mi-sol:
domicile (law): a person's fixed, permanent, and principal home for legal purposes.
Joseph. His mother was Rachel. Yesod, foundation..
In music theory, a major chord is a chord that has a root note, a major third above this root, and a perfect fifth above this root note. When a chord has these three notes alone, it is called a major triad...
...The major triad (or major chord), along with the minor triad (or minor chord), is one of the basic building blocks of tonal music, the Western common practice period and Western pop, folk and rock music. It is considered consonant, stable, or not requiring resolution. In Western music, a minor chord, in comparison, "sounds darker than a major chord".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_chord
Major scales and chords are called "happy", whereas the minors are called "sad". On the Hebrew page for the major chord it says:
"The major chord is considered the 'happy' chord."
The word for happy (sameach, שמח) is a permutation of mashach (משח), to anoint, which is why many commentaries take note of the rearrangement of Mashiach (משיח) to yismach (ישמח) - "he [Israel] will rejoice".
3-5-8 is the first inversion of the happy C major chord that is the basic building block of the "fixed do" tonal system of Joseph, the foundation of the nation of Israel. C5 is one level up on the scale (ha-sulam) from C4.
The sum of Israel is located between the 1st and the 8th, the alef and chet, which is a brother. The entire scale contains 12 notes plus the 13th that will bring us back to, or rather up to "do", one level up. Eight white keys, five black. 13: echad, one octave with all the half steps counted.
The two C's, "do" and "do", the bookends of the octave when joined together, look like this:
דודו
David
As it appears with the entire octave spelled out:
דו רה מי פה סול לה סי דו
Either direction, reading toward the left or right, "541" is contained by David, as the name is a palindrome.
Yesod (יסוד), connecting the 7th to the 1st, which is the "sol" connected with "do":
דו רהמיפהסוללה סי דו
7 connected with 1, that's the reading order of the word yesod in the scale. Jonah (יונה), having a gematria of 71 and meaning "dove", is a metaphor for the soul. What's a person's mission, what he is to do:
You are Jonah. The real you, for “Jonah”—in Kabbalistic parlance—is another name for the soul. Hence, the story of Jonah is the story of a soul’s journey here on earth. Thus, on Yom Kippur, as we examine our lives and consider our purpose in this world, we remember the historical Jonah whose real-life narrative symbolizes our spiritual odyssey.
The treble clef (clef is French meaning "key") in Hebrew is called the sol key (מפתח סול, mafteach sol), because it is based on the G, the note on the second line on the staff. In the "fixed do" system, this G is "sol", hence "the key of sol".
In order to learn how to read the notes on the staff, the mnemonic for the "sol key" is
Every Good Boy Does Fine (for the lines)
Here again is Joseph, because he is associated with the word good (tov, טוב) which has a gematria of 17. It's the age of Joseph he was sent down into Egypt. The value of 17 (which "reverses" to 71) first appears in the Torah in the beginning, in verse 4, as the description of the first light of Creation, which was called "good". Every good boy does fine, because everyone who is the embodiment of Joseph is by nature a Tzaddik, righteous. A good boy. Fine is also the Italian terminology for the end of the passage. D.C. al Fine...
Which brings me to the second mnemonic of this particular staff,
FACE (for the spaces)
It spells out the notes themselves so no acronym is required. It's simply as it appears on its face, the word face.
FACE in the Hebrew names of the notes adds up to 180:
fa la do mi (85 + 35 + 10 + 50)
Which is also the gematria of the Hebrew word for face, panim (פנים).
The Shekinah is called the Divine Presence, i.e. the presence of God. Presence and face are the same word, panim. The face of God.
On the Hebrew wiki page for the musical staff (החמשה), it is explained that "the space between the lines is called 'beinah' (בינה)"
The word beinah is derived from the word bein, meaning "between". However, beinah is also binah, the word "understanding". Reading between the lines is where binah, understanding, is located, because the space between the lines is called beinah.
When we read between the lines of the "Five" - the name for the staff (cf. "Chumash") - what appears is a FACE, what is "between the lines" of the sol key. Understanding: בינה.
When Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Tzaphnat Pa'aneach (meaning a cipher-decipherer, a revealer of mysteries, Gen 41:45), the phrase
Shem Yoseph Tzaphnat Pa'aneach (the name of Joseph is Tzaphant Pa'aneach) contains a key (mafte'ach, מפתח) at the end of each word, at a skip of 4:
שם יוסף צפנת פענח
Joseph was the brother who was hated, but he was the one who orchestrated the reunification of the brothers. Joseph is the foundation of the "sol key" because it reads on its FACE that "Every good boy does fine." The foundational chord of "do" is the C major chord, whose note names at up to Joseph.
Ascending up the ladder (musical scale), and connecting the brothers back to the foundation:
Psalm 133
1 A Song of Maalot [ascent] of David; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity:
2. It is like the precious ointment [good oil] upon the head, that runs down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments:
3. Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore:
the ascent: ha-ma'alot (המעלות) = 551 = do re mi fa so la si...
of David
The "8th", "do", completes the octave, such that within David all Israel is rounded up. It's spelled out in the notes, because the sum of the letters within David = Israel:
דו רה מי פה סול לה סי דו
The last three words of the Torah (the "five") are "in the sight of all Israel" (לעיני כל־ישראל ), which = 761, same as the "brothers dwelling" (shevet achim) in the above psalm, a song of the ascent of David. The verb form of dwell (shevet) spells Shabbat.
The Sound of Music is a movie people love to hate, but it was the "sound of music" that brought the whole family back together. The entire world knows that movie. Funny how that works. It was released in 1965, two years before the earthquake (the reunification of Jerusalem, east with west).
The song of rectification was specifically of the children singing, "the hills are alive with the sound of music."
Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore:
"You brought music back into the house. I had forgotten."
"When you read you begin with A, B, C. When you sing you begin with do, re, mi." The ideas merge at Psalm 22, because there are 22 letters in the alef-beit:
To the chief Musician, according to Ayeleth HaShahar [doe of the dawn], a Psalm of David... (doe, a deer, a female deer)
"Now children, Do Re Mi Fa So and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once you have these notes in your heads you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.."
One one hand, there's a big difference between a 1 and an 8. On the other hand, there's no difference at all. C4 spaces, or C5 lines. It's all on one staff. (When the bass key is joined to the sol key, the two "fives" makes ten, and is called the grand staff.)
One "do" completes the other. Another pun on the letters and letter values is the difference between alef and chet: 418 - 111 = 307 = Rebecca.
Rebecca made the very first Purim costume, dressing Jacob up in Esav's best garments, so that their father wouldn't be able to discern the difference. So who are we to judge? :)
Bless my homeland forever...
How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.
Esav and Jacob already dwell together in unity as Americans. Same place movies come from, and from where men have ascended to the moon. The moon is the symbol of Israel (and the Shekinah and David and Rachel). The controversial "First Man" is due out on October 12th, the original Columbus ("dove") Day.
The musical ladder:
"Ach" : do r e mi fa sol la ti do begins with echad, "one" (אחד).
אחדו רה מי פה סול לה סי דו
The sum is 9 + 561 = 570 = sha'ar, gate:
Gen 28
12. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder [sulam] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it:
13. And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed:
16. And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not:
17. And he was afraid, and said, How awesome is this place! this is no other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven:
"do" and "do" = 10 + 10, which is the letter yud. The yud's individual value is 10, but when spelled out completely, the sum is 20.
yud + vav dalet. A yud is a hand, the part of the body representative of action: giving, and doing. Also of joining (hand in hand). It's the pintele "Yid", essential Jewishness. No matter where you go, there it is. It's so intrinsic to identity that a "Jewish heart" (לב יהודי) and "the 4th of July" (ה-ד ביולי) are the same letters.
Back to scene in the Torah involving the first Purim costume...
Jacob received the dew of heaven, whereas Esav received the dew of heaven above. Yet Esav jumped to conclusions, assuming that he had received an inferior blessing. As a result of his knee-jerk reaction, everyone else thinks that's what happened as well. It's been a misunderstanding of epic proportions.
Another movie connection is in Addam's Family Values. The incorrigible camp rejects (Wednesday, Pugsley, and the Jewish kid Joel) were banished to the Harmony Hut until they could learn to get along with the other campers. The singing begins with "The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung, for a thousand years". The result was that the siblings and Joel teamed up to destroy the "puerile and under-dramatized" vision of the worthless camp leader. IOW the evil, corrupt Establishment.

All is not as it appears, because the keys are in the music. Reading music is seeing sounds:
But when the Torah was given, that which is usually heard was seen. The veil was lifted, and the people were able to directly see and experience G-dliness, while the physical world faded back into the abstract.
Since that day, we have been striving to recreate our experience at Mount Sinai. To “hear” the physical and “see” the spiritual.

"... to laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way, on its way. To sing through the night, like a lark who is learning to pray."
The lark in mythology and literature stands for daybreak, as in Chaucer's "The Knight's Tale", "the bisy larke, messager of day" (I.1487; Benson 1988), and Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, "the lark at break of day arising / From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate" (11–12). The lark is also (often simultaneously) associated with "lovers and lovers' observance" (as in Bernart de Ventadorn's Can vei la lauzeta mover) and with "church services" (Sylvester and Roberts 2000), and often those the meanings of daybreak and religious reference are combined (in Blake's Visions of the Daughters of Albion, into a "spiritual daybreak" (Baine and Baine 1986)) to signify "passage from Earth to Heaven and from Heaven to Earth" (Stevens 2001). In Renaissance painters such as Domenico Ghirlandaio the lark symbolizes Christ, in reference to John 16:16 (Cadogan 2000).
Genesis 32
23. And he rose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok:
24. And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had:
25. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day:
26. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him:
27. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks; And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me:
28. And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob:
29. And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed:
30. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I beg you, your name; And he said, Why is it that you ask after my name? And he blessed him there:
31. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved:
Peniel: "FACE of God"
As continued in chapter 33, but then there was a separation of the brothers.
180 - the number means to make an about face. The Jewish heart is two lameds back-to-back that turn around face-to-face. The cherubs covering the Ark of the Covenant are described as brothers facing each other (Exo 25:20).
***
Right about the time I began to write this study this morning, I heard a loud thwack against one of the windows. I walked out the back door to check for a stunned bird or a carcase. No apparent victims, although it was a hard hit. We'd never had a death, only the occasional stunning. They have always recovered and flown off without incident.
A little while later I went out the side door to feed the turkeys (they were waiting for me). And there it was, a dead dove right outside the door, blood pooled under its head, the poor dear having smacked into the window of the door. Odd location, not at the large windows where I would have expected an impact (as with all previous incidences), so I didn't even think to look there. First death. At least it must have been instantaneous.
Relating to finales, the order of Christian Bibles completes the "Old Testament" with these verses:
Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children (starting at 1:20), and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely.
I know I will hear
What I've heard before.
My hear will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing
Once more.
Deu 31
14. And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, your days approach that you must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may give him a charge; And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting:
15. And the Lord appeared in the Tent in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the Tent:
16. And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise, and play the harlot after the gods of the strangers of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them:
17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us:
18. And I will surely hide my face in that day because of all the evils which they shall have done, in that they are turned to other gods:
19. Now therefore write this song for you, and teach it to the people of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the people of Israel:
mouth = pe (פה) = fa (F)
FACE = "180". Panim is an intrisically plural word anyway.
The phrase doesn't really say "against", but "for a witness in the sons of Israel". The first letters in red spell levi, "my heart":
לעד בבני ישראל
It's what the lyics to the song are all about. Amazing how that came around full circle.
"I realize it's singing. But who is singing?"
"The children."
My heart wants to sing every song that it hears.
For a witness in the children of Israel.
19. And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done according to what you told me; arise, I beg you, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me:
"Jacob is Esav" (יעקב הוא עשו) = 570 = gate
All Israel = Jacob + Esav
"In Isaac shall thy seed be called".
People are their own worst enemies! It's the simple meaning. Epic misunderstanding. Rebekah had a view from above when she made the first Purim costume. Esav's best outfit would have been his Sabbath clothes, his "Sunday best" as it were.
You have given us a Whole Semester of music theory during the first orientation! But I can see that you love music as a Divine language and a numeric phenomenon available to us all. Thank you. I have noticed that with some of the Classic masters, JS Bach, Mozart, Handel, music can resemble conversations, breathing in and out, pronounced declarations, states of confusion, epiphanies, and states of supreme content.

Brilliant work! Bookmarked for detailed study. I have been learning some of the amazing riches of Hebrew letters and numbers for a long time now...and there is always another kaleidoscopic depth to go to. Thanks for this!
This is nonsense. The "key of C" has no definition in the solfeggio scale.
They are the names given to the frequency relationships of the successive pitches in which the arbitrarily chosen initial pitch is called "do," and the relationships precisely define a harmonic progression of increasing frequencies not found on a piano or other tempered instrument.
Those frequencies to which a piano is tuned are not the ones of a pure physical harmonic instrument, as the solfeggio scale would be, for to play harmonic chords in all the possible key signatures would require an instrument having fifty-one separate pitches within each octave.
Hence a piano, whose notes are tempered, is an instrument of dissonance. See:
By pinning a scale to one basic reference frequency, a continuum of other frequencies is neglected, so a whole universe of sounds is ignored. Does a tree frog choose a frequency for its "do" from the notes provided by your sinusoidal A4 = 440 cycles per second, or does it utterly ignore your system and produce a rich sound abundant in harmonics of various amplitudes? Hm?
“To sing once, is to pray twice.”
Saint Augustine
Ah, thanks for chiming in, and for the resulting blessing that your post will generate.
It's not complicated. Just check the Hebrew versions of the note pages on wiki. The notes are the names. "Key" is a term that does get a bit scrambled in the terminology, though, for it is a "clef" (lit. key, Fr. as I noted) and also a scale, which in the Hebrew is "ladder".
I see other folks are simply observing and hearing what the notes are saying.
It's instructive as to why the messaging needed to flow down throughout history *outside* of the established system. That way nobody knew to look there in order to molest it.
By the time anyone would notice, it would be too late for damage control, so pretty much game over.
The crucifixion itself provided a shocking living parable of the appearance of the Messiah becoming so marred that he would no longer resemble a man.
Now in Jewish thought, the Torah of the Messiah is going to be so awesome and amazing that the Torah of Moses would look like "hevel" (luft, air, vapor) by comparison.
Nothing like a long, hard day of working on the farm for people to learn how to work together, appreciate life, and appreciate where food comes from.
Anyone expecting the Messiah to come along in order to teach everyone how to milk cows? Didn't think so. Anyone going to complain if he's got a freezer full of pork? Maybe he knows something that we don't.
I'm pressed for time today but I'll get back to individual replies and add more as I am able. I barely scratched the surface.
imho the best kind of singing is anything barbershop followed by handel’s messiah followed by anything rutter followed by shape note singing.
Furthermore, the words and notes written down on paper are not music. They are just a basic notation that transmits a basic guide as to how a piece of music was to be performed, to which the artist would add many other complementary elements.
You are trying to forge a connection between theology and a notation system of transmitting musicianship, when there is none; as well as having no connection whatsoever with the arts of ancient history.
Gematria = 376
Name origin: asah (עשה) to do, make, accomplish
A man is his name. Esav has always been the designated "do-er" of the family, even if he doesn't know what he is doing. He came charging into the world described as bristly and admoni, ruddy. Jacob was named for holding him back. Or should that be the other way around, because the Jewish people are described as having the characteristics of Esav (for good or ill, but usually is a negative implication), and that is it the Western world (Esav) holding Jacob back. Who can tell who is who -- which one is the setaceous Hebrew character? Amazing what flutters about in the natural world, back-to-back.
With outstretched wings is this diagram.
Even the letters pairings involving historical redemptions match the nuns to Jacob and Esav:
With a double nun Yaakov was saved from the hands of Eisav when he prayed hatzileini na — "Rescue me, please, [from the hands of my brother from the hand of Eisav]" (Bereishit 32:12).

Dvar Torah Questions and Answers on Pinchas
"הנני נותן לו את בריתי שלום"
“Behold! I give him My covenant of peace.” (25:12) Question: What is the “covenant of peace”?
Answer: When Hashem asked Moshe to go to Egypt and redeem the Jewish People, Moshe pleaded “Please send the one whom you will eventually send” (Shemot 4:13). The Targum Yonatan ben Uziel explains that Moshe was saying to Hashem, “Please send Pinchas, who is destined to be Eliyahu, and inform the Jewish People of the coming of Mashiach.” (This is a source for the famous statement that Pinchas is Eliyahu).
The word “shalom” (שלום) has the numerical value of 376 which is the same numerical value as the words “zehu Mashiach” (זהו משיח) — “this is Mashiach.” The Rambam (Melachim 12:5) writes that in those days [of Mashiach] there will be no hunger, jealousy or competition.
Hence, Hashem was alluding that Pinchas will be Eliyahu who will announce the coming of Mashiach, and that the Jewish people will then enter an era in which they will experience the highest degree of shalom.
(בעל הטורים)
"הנני נותן לו את בריתי שלום"
“Behold! give him My covenant of peace. (25:12)
QUESTION: Why in a Torah scroll is the foot of the "ו" in the word “shalom” split?
ANSWER: The name of Eliyahu is written five times in the Torah without its usual "ו" (אליה) while the name of Yaakov is written five times with an extra "ו" (יעקוב). Rashi explains that Yaakov took the "ו" from Eliyahu as a pledge that he will herald the coming of Mashiach to the Jewish People (Vayikra 26:42).
Therefore, the "ו" is incomplete to allude that as long as Pinchas — Eliyahu — does not reveal the coming of Mashiach, the Jewish people have no real peace and the "ו" taken by Yaakov will not be returned.
(בעל הטורים)
In Psalms 14:7, King David says, “When Hashem returns the captivity of His nation, yagail Yaakov yismach Yisrael — Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.” The word “yismach” (ישמח) can be rearranged to spell “Mashiach” (משיח). In David’s statement, Yaakov’s name is spelled without a "ו" because at the time when Yismach — Mashiach — will reveal himself to Yisrael — the Jewish people — Yaakov will happily give up the "ו" he held as a pledge and return it to Eliyahu.
(בעל הטורים)
Five times is Ya'akov spelled with 5 letters, and 5 times is Eliyahu spelled with 4.
The space between the lines is called בינה.
If I wished to hazard a guess which letter could be swapped/borrowed in the above analogy, I'd have to do with the D, "does". Then the face would be faced. And the letter involved would be re, a drop of golden sun.
Everyone knows that Jacob was a good boy, because he minded his mother by playing dress-up. I mean how embarrassing, what boy wants to let his mother dress him up in a costume? It's like that kid in Home Alone talking about the sweater his grandparents sent him. "You can get beat up for wearing something like that. "
Kevin:
So give it a shot, for your granddaughter anyway. I'm sure she misses you and the presents.
Marley:
I send her a check.
Kevin:
I wish my grandparents did that. They always send me clothes. Last year I got a sweater with a big bird knitted on it.
Marley:
That's nice.
Kevin:
Not for a guy in the second grade. You can get beat up for wearing something like that. Yeah, I had a friend who got nailed because there was a rumor he wore dinosaur pajamas.
As Americans, Esav and Jacob share the same birthday. They are twins, after all. A birthday when "mixing up the notes" spells out a Jewish heart. Pintele Yid.

They've got no place in the hallowed halls of academia. So it should be expected that it's going to be an awful pun that ends up as the "head of the corner", the r'osh pinah. Outrageous. Some people have no sense of humor. Kids will laugh, though.

"In Isaac shall thy seed be called." Isaac--> laughter
That's why people are going to need to learn how to laugh and sing again and remember how to get along. Fresh air and sunshine, and milking cows and tending sheep ought to help with that. David was rather inspired by being out in the fields with his sheep. He's the world's most famous songwriter because of it. Every note to every song: lyrics. Lyrics and psalms, they all go right back to David.
And there it is, the same message in the musical notes. 541 (Israel) surrounded by David. Any wonder why Noah covered his ark inside and out with pitch? And that the Hebrew word is the essentially the same as atonement? See what I mean? Terrible, dreadful puns!
The Redemption comes through singing, when you know the notes to sing.
Only so much you can do, as some never want to hear anything nice, always preferring rap. :(
Thank you for your continued blessings!
Movies are full of insight. For example,
Biff Tannen was the one who is famous for saying, “I hate manure.”
Now I’m the type to view manure as great fertilizer.
The Messiah - now there’s a guy who really knows what to do with manure.
Mysterious mind, madam. Very creative.
Ties in with the etymology of shmoneh/shemen, of plenty and fatness (8 floating above 7), such that a horn of plenty is a horn of "8", 350 + 8. Really expands on the meaning of Samuel filling his horn with oil.
Connect Samuel up with David and well...
Gets back to the scene in Gen 32. Big difference between Samael and Samuel. Then again, it might only be a matter of the language through which a name is routed. Best I remain alert to these sorts of things.
But anyway, a nice detail about Pinchas is that Pinchas (פינחס) = 208, which is Isaac (יצחק), but also "USA" (ארה"ב).
Somehow they all roll together. Besides, 208 is Eliyahu (or ben) x 4.
Is it too early for the song yet?
Eliyahu Hanavi, Eliyahu ha-Tishbi
Eliyahu, Eliyahu, Eliyahu ha-Giladi
Bimherah, beyamenu
Yavo Eleinu
Im Mashiach ben David
Im Mashiach ben David
That's kind of weird. I typed that out from memory then went to look it up. I was only off by one letter, a v that should have been a b. I had a dream a while back about the reverse of that - an important transliterated Hebrew word where in the dream I kept looking at it thinking, that the "b should be a v". That's because the b was in the middle of the word/acronym.
But then months later, I realized that is was a dual meaning, that the b really was a b in Hebrew after all. Because do'h, it was an acronym.
Better than dreaming about nonsense!!! :)
I luv luv luv this stuff.
I'm not sure how that ties into Hebrew anything. Any use of it by Jewish liturgical (or secular) singing was adopted from Christians and long postdates its invention. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but let's be clear about its origin.
As for the Rodgers and Hammerstein song "Do-Re-Me," it was supposedly taught by Maria von Trapp to Austrian kids who spoke German, but it's full of English puns which don't work at all in German. Show business ...
"Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey? Oh much more Sir."
Gotta live a little.
"Key" in the language of the Jews (literally - Yiddish) is shlisl:
שליסל
(from German Schlüssel)
gematria: 430
Soul in Hebrew (the animal soul) is nefesh:
נפש
(In Yiddish also)
gematria: 430
This picks up with Joseph again because in with all the connections to Joseph described above, 430 is the gematria of tzaddik yesod olam (צדיק יסוד עולם):
Pro 10:25 As the stormy wind which passes, so is the wicked no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation:
The Redemption itself was timed to 430 years.
Exodus 12:40-41 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Including the bones (essence) of Joseph.
There you go, the "sol" key.
In English and the song, sol is "so", thus it is equated with "a needle pulling thread". IOW, mending.
The Hebrew word for healing (rafa) derives from the sound of sewing.
Down to earth analogies are everywhere.
Thank you for the information, but you can remove me from your Ping List at this time, please.
