Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
The prophet from whom we have the words about beating swords into ploughshares. To the call he answered briefly: here I am, send me.
Rashi's grandson and head of the Tosafists. He argued with his grandfather where he thought it right — and those arguments themselves became part of the teaching.
Israel's sixth prime minister. He signed the peace treaty with Egypt; Nobel Peace Prize, 1978.
What connects them
Each of the three moved at some point — changed country, side or occupation, and that is exactly what defined them.
Five is the hand with five fingers, the number of grip and of change. A day when the plan has to be corrected as you go, and that is fine.
Where are you standing still only because it is familiar here?
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.

Reading of the reduced number
Five is the hand with five fingers, the number of grip and of change. A day when the plan has to be corrected as you go, and that is fine.
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.
