וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה חֲצִי הַדָּם וַיָּשֶׂם בָּאַגָּנֹת וַחֲצִי הַדָּם זָרַק עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ
«And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.»
Shmot (Exodus) 24:6 · page 132 of 354
This is from the portion “Mishpatim” (Exodus 21–24). What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
Nobody picked it: the letters of today's date add up to 132, and that is page 132 of the 354 pages of the Torah — the first five books of the Bible.
The same number was already written down around 1573: אהיה זו היא ביודין = גם חנוכה
In the database it appears 3 times across 2 books. We do not claim this proves anything: we show who wrote it and when, and we recounted it ourselves.
Today is the name's day of: Antonio. And your name?
Person of the day
Three names from three eras sharing one small number
Moses' wife, daughter of the priest of Midian. On the decisive night she acted first and saved the family.
Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040–1105, Troyes. A vintner and a commentator. His commentary on the Torah and the Talmud has been printed beside the text for nearly a thousand years: he explains more briefly than anyone, and explains exactly what is unclear.
He taught the deaf to speak — both his mother and his wife were deaf. The telephone came out of that work on hearing.
What connects them
History ties all three to a home, a family or a community: their work is measured by what was left to the people around them.
Six is the six days of work, after which there is something to stop for. A day of home, of family, of what is done for others. Mend something, set the table, make the call.
Who near you today needs not an opinion but simply your presence?
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.

A Torah word with this number
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.
Remembered today
Tradition places his death on Shavuot. The book of Psalms is ascribed to him — the same book divided across the thirty days of the month and read daily the world over.
Israel ben Eliezer, 1698–1760. Founder of Hasidism. He taught that a simple person praying from the heart stands no lower than a scholar, and that joy is not the reward for service but the manner of it.
Psalms of the day
Under the customary division of the book of Psalms across the thirty days of the month, today's reading is 35-38.

Reading of the reduced number
Six is the six days of work, after which there is something to stop for. A day of home, of family, of what is done for others. Mend something, set the table, make the call.
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.
