"Audaces Fortuna Juvat",

so I worked on a nice color diagram for all of you, before heading out to feed the birds:

History, holidays, traditions, allegories, analogs, midrashim, rules and mitzvot and so on all serve a great purpose.. to teach the next generation, for one thing:

Exodus 13:14. And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery:

A nice detail in the tzimtzum diagram is that the "cyan, magenta, yellow, and key" Hebrew phrase ends on the word patach [פתח], from which "key" is derived:

It's not just the root to open, פתח is the name of the Egyptian creator god Ptah, whose house and power *was* [the built-in obsolescence of]

EGYPT:

Etymology
From ḥwt (“enclosure”) +‎ kꜣ (“ka”) +‎ ptḥ (“Ptah”) with direct genitive constructions, thus literally ‘house of the ka of Ptah’.

The "ka" being Ptah's ko'ach hachaim, life force. You can see that info at D28, the symbol that serves as a visual representation for the etymology of the name Judah ("Hands up!").

There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

Nothing like *The* Music Man for your happy tour guide, to lead the way out. After all,

There's the tactical failure right from the start. He tried to blend in. That's not it works. There's nothing "Psst!" subtil about 50 mounted cannon in the battery, thundering, thundering, louder than before.

I wonder if anybody at least hovers over some of these links. Could be rather insightful.

Back to the tzimtzum diagram (see numerics above -- the smaller sized numbers are subsets within the larger values) -- there's so much. But for starters, here's the first woman in the OHEL, in the core of the tent. Don't her black color fool you, She kina bright:

55 = khalah, bride [כלה]
148 = Boi khalah boi khalah [בואי כלה בואי כלה]

I noticed that the midpoint of those years (25 on either side) is '35, "יהודי":

WO-HE-LO

Health is in the OHEL, the tent.

I'm such a brat, on my own here, but hey...

What can you really get out of a postage stamp [בול]?

("מבול", because it's the simple meaning.)

The First Day of Issue (All Saints' Day, 1960) was 11 Cheshvan...

It's Jewish silver anniversary was the the debut of the DMC time machine -- Jewish Mother's Day.

In that year ('85), on that day, the Chumash source text informs that Abram went out. (Abraham, aka the First Jew.). Lech Lecha, 50 and another 50.

Why is it that God responds to Rachel and not to the Patriarchs or to Moshe? Certainly these were men of greatness and inordinate dedication to the Jewish people. Reb Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin proposes that the difference lies in the initiative Rachel takes, without first having to be commanded by God. From this perspective, we can say that the Patriarchs and Moshe perform their acts of self-sacrifice in response to God’s command. Rachel, on the other hand, takes it upon herself to mastermind a plan that will save her sister’s dignity, without any prior directive from God.
The Matriarchs Rachel and Leah: Tears of the Jewish Mothers, Part I

The "Eretz Yonah" (BB-39*) was buried where she died, in an isolated grave at the crossroads, on the day that would live in infamy.

All of her souls were gathered together on April 1, 2024, when Lou [לו] joined his shipmates.

The ongoing lore of unknown provenance was that her black tears would stop when the last of her crew was called home.

*"Open for me, my bride…, for my head is full of dew". (Song. 5:2) The dew refers to the light which flows from the hair of his head, whose numerical value is the same as that of the word for "dew" ["tal", tet-lamed = 39].

I figured I should go ahead and ping you nully, because your handle is pretty much the whole theme goin on in here, on multiple levels.

Yeah, I know this stuff probably 🤔 makes me look bad, but I have my reasons. They're all good. Good enough to be willing to make myself look like a complete jerk in the process. It is what it is.

Passover:

Concerning the diagram above, in post 23:

The inner triangle = 148 [פסח, Pesach], and

The entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area is the mafte'ach, "key". The K of the CMYK acronym.

The rest of the Key space = 93 ["HaMegillah", the scroll (of Esther)], which divides as 3 x 31.

This even plays off of the 3-3-1 arrangement of a Seder plate with the word Pesach in the middle, and also a midrash about Haman casting lots. (133 really is the ultimate winning lot.)

179 = venahafoch hu, so it all turned to the contrary for him.

The numeral 31 is ל"א [lo לא, "not", a negation], the reverse of the word "El", "el", or L (God, god, or the Latin letter "L", which is 50 in Roman numerals).

I'm pointing that out because an L is also a key -- an Allen [אלן] EZ key which puns off of all that as El + the letter nun, which has a value of 50. (Allen is the name used in Hebrew.)

It's a "hex" key, which is also the "pet" name for the hexadecimal system, where L is "4c" like this here postage stamp imagery for marking 50 years, as well as the decimal value of 76, the spirit of.

And in this key space, there are these three EZ keys, picking up on the tradition about the three keys that God keeps in His own possession. Here's the link to the brief source text which also cites the verse references.

The Transformative Power of Pesach
A beautiful image of the future redemption is written in Isaiah 35:6: "At that time (when Mashiach will come) the lame man will skip like a hart."
In reality, we often observe or experience things that seem to be bad. The beauty of creation is in the Torah, which gives us the power to transform evil to good. Pesach has that transformative power. It can transform lameness to true and beautiful free skipping. The vision of the lame man skipping like a hart is a very important image to have in mind on Pesach.

The Key to Penetrating the Heart
The constraints of Egypt are psychological barriers that cannot be penetrated. These psychological barriers, which exist at some level in all of humanity, leave us all lame. The Hebrew word for "compassion," chemlah (chet, mem, lamed, hei), is a permutation for the Hebrew for "disease," machalah (mem, chet, lamed, hei). When we connect to another with compassion, which is even deeper than the embrace of love, we redeem him from his psychological barriers. His diseased state of lameness is then transformed to the Messianic skipping of the hart.
The transformative energy of Pesach is the power to break free of all psychological barriers, and with compassion in our hearts, to leap all the way into the hearts of God, our spouse, family and friends.

Gotta laugh for the joy of discovery, because there's also the very famous, iconic L that even ended up on the face of a gravestone.

"Show me a Penny" [פני] and I can show you the man famous for "freeing the slaves" (or for the destruction of universe, depending on perspective).

Then it turns out that פני מרשל was the director of "Renaissance Man", a 30-year-old movie about a bunch of unenthusiastic and semi-literate soldiers who had a long way to go but a short time to get there.

I mention it because in the post I am replying to, you can see how the "Renaissance Man" is the framework value for the entire coat of many colors diagram(s).

As for the entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area, it's a veritable bargain, a real find -- 50% off when buying in pairs.

BOGO. It really goes a long way in explaining why the half shekel was defined in terms of a whole shekel (Exo 30:13), rather than for its individual value, but that's just the kind of thinking that keeps me far outside of the approved circles.

That's got to be one of the best representative images on a Wiki page ever:

"Happy hour" sign on a pub in Jerusalem: Buy one draught beer, get one free

Anyone realize what's obscured behind that 1 + 1 Happy Hour sign?

It's a "NES", a miracle, but who is still reading far past the "To:" line?

It's like what's on that classic Quantum Torah page:

Although it is a bit of oversimplification and quantum entanglement is more complicated than that, this metaphor helps students understand the main concept of entanglement—it is possible to find information about one object by learning about another object, without any communication between the two. I think every physics professor uses this example to explain to students the concept of entanglement.
Perhaps, G‑d was teaching Moses the concept of entanglement as well. Each of us is only half-coin or, rather, half-person. Together, we can form a whole.
