A Change of Name Addendum

I lost the TORAWARE.COM domain name. 

(If you don't catch the expiration time, someone will snatch it up to make money.)

Instead I purchased the TORAWARE.ORG name. That's good now for at least 10 years.

Please visit my site and take it for a spin.

This Jewish New Year -- May the Hostages Be Freed Already

 Re: the Gematria of 

תהי׳ה שנת פדיון השבויים

Here's a finding that hints at the present tragic status of hostages being held in Gaza by the worst of terrorists.

Of many phrases that suit this Jewish new year's acronym for 5785, תשפ׳׳ה, this one fits well:

תהי׳ה שנת פדיון השבויים

This "predictive" Hebrew phrase, with a Gematria of 1693, matches 3 verses in all of Torah. 

(In Nach itself there are 8 more such gematria "hits".) 

1) Vayigash (45:15)

ינשק לכל אחיו ויבך עלהם ואחרי כן דברו אחיו אתו

2) Emor (21:2) 

כי אם לשארו הקרב אליו לאמו ולאביו ולבנו ולבתו ולאחיו 

3) Emor (21:11)

ועל כל נפשת מת לא יבא לאביו ולאמו לא יטמא 

Note how all these verses 

-- deal with family members;

-- kissing and crying over them; 

-- And of course the dead too are remembered. 

 May it happen very very soon. May God protect them!

P.S.

Only 1 verse in all of Torah has this gematria value when using the "At-Bash" valuation of the letters:

12.  But if it does not make peace with you, and it wages war against you, you shall besiege it,

יבוְאִם־לֹ֤א תַשְׁלִים֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ וְעָֽשְׂתָ֥ה עִמְּךָ֖ מִלְחָמָ֑ה וְצַרְתָּ֖ עָלֶֽיהָ:

Here you have a clear warning to destroy the enemy if they don't cooperate!
