The name Sisera in Hebrew letters is סיסרא. 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.
סיסרא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is סיסרא. A Tanakh name: a Canaanite king; also one of the Nethinim (first in Judges 4:2; 21 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 331 — the same as the Torah word שאל, “to ask”. That number points to Torah page 331 of 354 — in the portion Ki Teitzei. What that portion is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Sisera” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: סיסרא. 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 סיסרא gives 331.
331
The number 331 is the Torah word שאל — «to ask» (Genesis 24:47).
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.
This is from the portion Ki Teitzei. What it is about: “When you go out”: seventy-four commandments — the bird's nest, honest weights, divorce, remembering Amalek.
The same number, 331, is given by these Tanakh names:
Ephraim אפרים
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) — 331. A Torah word with the same number is שאל — “to ask” (Genesis 24:47).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 61. A Torah word with the same number is אני — “I” (Genesis 6:17).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1361.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 47301.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 921.
The letters that come out are חמחגת — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 459. A Torah word with the same number is התמיד — “the continual” (Numbers 4:7).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 881. A Torah word with the same number is שקערורה — “depression, hollow” (Leviticus 14:37).
The number 331 appears in the classical books 9 times across 7 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 331. 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. סיסרא has 5 letters: ס Samekh, י Yod, ס Samekh, ר Resh, א Alef. The first letter is Samekh, the last is Alef.
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 סיסרא 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
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with ס and ends with א. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
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.
