The name Bashkim in Hebrew letters is בשקים. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
בשקים
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is בשקים. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 452 — the same as the Torah word תבן, “straw”. That number points to Torah page 98 of 354 — in the portion Shemot. What that portion is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 10:22. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Bashkim” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: בשקים. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name בשקים gives 452.
452
The number 452 is the Torah word תבן — «straw» (Genesis 24:25).
And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh: 'Thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.'
This is from the portion Shemot. What it is about: Slavery in Egypt; Moses in the basket on the Nile; the burning bush and the Name; the first audience with Pharaoh.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 1012. A Torah word with the same number is תרבית — “interest, increase” (Leviticus 25:36).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 11. A Torah word with the same number is חג — “festival” (Exodus 10:9).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 65. A Torah word with the same number is אדני — “my Lord” (Genesis 15:2).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1893.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 101704.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1570.
The letters that come out are שבדמי — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 356. A Torah word with the same number is פעור — “Peor, mountain in Moab” (Numbers 23:28).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1058.
The number 452 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is מגלה עמוקות (~1637).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 452. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. בשקים has 5 letters: ב Bet, ש Shin, ק Qof, י Yod, ם final Mem. The first letter is Bet, the last is final Mem.
For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name בשקים does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For בשקים these are ב and מ. The Pentateuch has 10 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 10:22:
בני שם עילם ואשור וארפכשד ולוד וארם
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
The name בשקים has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 452 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
