The name Yasmina in Hebrew letters is יסמינה. 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.
יסמינה
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יסמינה. From Persian yasamin, the jasmine flower. This form with the ending -a is used in Arabic and is common in France and Spain. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 175 — the same as the Torah word צפה, “to overlay, watch”. That number points to Torah page 175 of 354 — in the portion Tzav. What that portion is about: The fire on the altar is never to go out; the priests' portion; the seven days of consecration of Aaron and his sons. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 33:14. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Yasmina” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יסמינה. 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 יסמינה gives 175.
175
The number 175 is the Torah word צפה — «to overlay, watch» (Exodus 25:11).
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be at all eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it; it shall be an abhorred thing, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
This is from the portion Tzav. What it is about: The fire on the altar is never to go out; the priests' portion; the seven days of consecration of Aaron and his sons.
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) — 175. A Torah word with the same number is צפה — “to overlay, watch” (Exodus 25:11).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 67. A Torah word with the same number is אבידן — “Abidan, chief of Benjamin” (Numbers 1:11).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 720. A Torah word with the same number is ישית — “he will set” (Genesis 46:4).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 7925.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 655. A Torah word with the same number is השלישי — “the third” (Genesis 2:14).
The letters that come out are מחימטצ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 197. A Torah word with the same number is בקצה — “at the edge” (Genesis 23:9).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 352. A Torah word with the same number is קרבן — “offering” (Leviticus 1:2).
The number 175 appears in the classical books 6 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 175. 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. יסמינה has 6 letters: י Yod, ס Samekh, מ Mem, י Yod, נ Nun, ה He. The first letter is Yod, the last is He.
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 יסמינה 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 יסמינה these are י and ה. The Pentateuch has 10 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 33:14:
יעבר נא אדני לפני עבדו ואני אתנהלה לאטי לרגל המלאכה אשר לפני ולרגל הילדים עד אשר אבא אל אדני שעירה
This is from the portion Vayishlach. What it is about: Wrestling with the angel and the name Israel; the meeting with Esau; Dinah in Shechem; the birth of Benjamin and Rachel's death.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: יסמינה = 175. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
«And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be at all eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it; it shall be an abhorred thing, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.»
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.
