Ya give Ezekiel an inch, he (or she?) will write you a mile.
Great analogy, because a mile is 66 chains is 22 yards, and a chain is 100 links.
Hu is he and he is she.
I mean come on, where does it ever stop? :)
It doesn't, which is where the hidden Esther (the doe of the dawn) appears, where the end (evening) connects with the beginning (morning). Venus even has her own star that is a myrtle flower, thereby "spelling" her Jewish name every 8 years. Great animation at the link:

It's been a while since I posted this info, but it's good timing today:
The Torah is 304,805 letters and the end overlaps with the beginning on Simchat Torah. The parsha numbered 54 is followed by the 1 -->
541 = "Israel"
304,805 isn't a nice round number, but last 5 letters is the name "Israel". So in the spirit of the colorful paper chains,
One link for a one year reading cycle, and 100 links is a chain:
Each link overlaps itself a little in order to be secured together. I know that's obvious. I'm just pointing it out because of the parallels in doing the same with the Torah. The beginning ("Bereshith") overlapping the end ("Israel") sets up like this:
בירשארשאילת
A few things happen:
1. Israel becomes "hidden" in the beginning.
2. The apparent number of letters of the Torah reduces to 304,800.
3. The word "ayelet" [=emet] appears at the end. While it's the "construct" state of ayelah, meaning it's not spelled that way when on its own, it's the form that is correct for the phrase, Ayelet haShachar, "Doe of the Dawn". Considering the location (at the beginning), it's not just any doe, but *the* doe of the dawn, the hidden Esther at the end of the beginning.
And on that "note" (what's Esther doing in there at the very beginning?!)...
304,800 = 127 x 2400, thereby rolling Esther, the medina, and midnight (Midnight military time explained) into the simple analogy involving a paper chain.
Ya give Ezekiel an inch, he (or she?) will write you a mile.
See how you inspire? Because 127 is a nice neat conversion number between metric units and inches:
Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.

Nice and neat when involving 50, because 50 = 127:
50 in. = 127 cm
The water is deep.
The 50th state [of Aloha] is Hawaii, famous for Pearl Harbor: 12/7
Bereshith + Israel = 1454 = "Attack on Pearl Harbor" [המתקפה על פרל הארבור],
marking America's entry into WWII.
"A date which will live in infamy."
At the end, America was the superpower who saved the world with two big bangs and flashes of intense light.
In 1938, on Armistice Day, Kate Smith said it was her happy privilege to introduce a new song, "God Bless America."
Famous. Written by Irving Berlin, who was born "Israel".
Also in that "year", in Nonnberg Abbey, the Reverend Mother was singing"Climb Every Mountain".
It gets deeper, and higher at the very end:
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Hebrew title [הטלת פצצות האטום על הירושימה ועל נגסאקי] = 2177
1.2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep [= 2177]; And a wind from God moved upon the face of the waters:
The surrender took place in Tokyo Bay on the Mighty Mo. Tokyo Bay [מפרץ טוקיו] = 541
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and discovered Hodu.
It all works out, as the Mikra spelled with the Pintele Yid [המיקרא] permutes to America.
It's a pretty big calling for a little dove. It's a very small painting,

She's wearing her JerUSAlem of gold, the "Star of the Empire":
Holding a school book.
She's on display at the "Singing Cowboy's" Museum of the American West. He was the man who literally owned the Angels and whose jersey number was 26. Makes sense.
Gene Autry - Back in the Saddle Again
It has therefore been suggested that the Talmuds story about Rabbi Akivas wifes golden city might have had an additional symbolic implication: in a profound way, this steadfast lady was, after all, a paradigmatic patroness of Jewish education, sacrificing her own comfort and happiness to put her husband through school. In that capacity, her grateful husband was honouring her with the same kind of diadem that would have been awarded to a wealthy donor to an academic institution.
Although most of us would probably have preferred to see some of that generosity being invested in the ladys own education, it does nonetheless appear appropriate that the glow of Jerusalems gold should be associated with the selfless promotion of Jewish learning.

Funny because exactly as I pasted in that excerpt, "random" verses flew by in the background music off of youtube:
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me
So let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence
They'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see
I have confidence in me
Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm, but kind
And all those children
Heaven bless them
They will look up to me
And mind me.
sacrificing her own comfort and happiness to put her husband through school...
"I'm not finished yet!!!"
"Oh yes you are, Captain!"
(I love that movie.)
BTW, if you haven't run a search on a letter skip of 541 beginning with the "Big Bet" first letter of the Torah..
You ought to. Your surprise is waiting. ;)
Better than seven sons!
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Who knew that Mars was so bright?
(A Sol is a Mars-Day. Makes perfect sense.)
God Bless Lil' Ingenuity:
I have confidence
They'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see
I have confidence in me.
Me, a name I call myself
Fa', a long long way to run...
