From the Tanakh
דבורה= 217

A prophetess and judge, the only woman among the judges of Israel. She judged under a palm tree and went to war herself when the commander refused to go without her.

Sage
1269-1343
רבי יעקב בעל הטורים= 766

He divided all Jewish law into four parts. That division is the one the Shulchan Aruch and all later literature use.

A known name
1942-2016
מוחמד עלי= 208

Boxer, three-time world heavyweight champion. He refused the draft on principle, lost his title and won it back seven years later.

What connects them

One is what does not divide. A day to start a single thing rather than nudge five along. Whatever is laid down first today sets the order for the rest.

Question of the day

What are you putting off starting because you are waiting for it to get clearer?

How the small number works: the digits are added until one remains. Non-Hebrew names are written in Hebrew letters by ordinary transliteration; variants exist, and the number depends on the spelling. We show the letters so it can be checked. This is a coincidence of counting, not a claim about fate. It is interesting exactly insofar as you can see how it was counted.

How it is obtained

י10ד4= 14
ש300ב2ט9= 311

14 + 311 = 325 · total

This week's portion

Yitro יתרו

This Hebrew date across 301 years

A Torah word with this number

There is no such word in this week's portion. The nearest in the Torah:
נערה
נ50ע70ר200ה5
Deuteronomy 22:15 · 14 occurrences in the Torah

This happens more often than the meeting does: measured, the number of the week and the number of the date meet on roughly one day in three. Saying so plainly is the method.

A name from this week's portion

יעקב
י10ע70ק100ב2
= 182 · first in the portion at: Genesis 25:26

This figure acts in the portion read this week. Their number is shown alongside — with no claim that it matches anything.

Psalms of the day

Under the customary division of the book of Psalms across the thirty days of the month, today's reading is 72-76.

לִשְׁלֹמֹ֨ה ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ תֵּ֑ן וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃
the opening of the first psalm of the day · Psalms 72:1

One is what does not divide. A day to start a single thing rather than nudge five along. Whatever is laid down first today sets the order for the rest.

What follows is an interpretation, not a calculation. The reduced number comes from adding the digits; everything else on this page can be checked, and this cannot.
