Est 2.15. Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai [אסתר בת אביחיל דד מרדכי], who had adopted her as his daughter, came to go to the king, she asked for nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised; And Esther found favor in the sight of all those who looked upon her:
אב אדם = "Father of Adam"
G-d created a system for this video game we're starring in that we call the laws of nature. He did such a good job that people actually believe that this system runs itself. After all, the weather influences the crops, the stock market our finances, and our lifestyle the state of our health. Now, the laws of nature say that if you're surrounded by the world's largest army on one side and the Red Sea on the other, there's no hope.
As Jews, we know better. We realize that G-d, not the system, is in control. The question is: how?
One way is by overriding the system. The laws of nature say that a sea must flow? No problem -- today, that wont apply. The laws of nature say the sun has to set soon? No problem, we'll override that for a few hours. This is the classic miraclethe -- physics breaker.
But then theres way #2: the system doesnt have to be changed. You can play by the rules and still find a way to win.
Thats Purim. The aim was achieved without any natural laws being broken. Vashti was ousted. Esther was chosen. Mordechai overheard a plot. Achashverosh couldnt sleep. Esther found favor in the kings eyes. Charvonah offered advice ..
Why Isnt G-d's Name Mentioned in the Megillah?
Adam (אדם) literally means "red", and there is an etymological connection between adam and adamah, adamah designating "red clay" or "red ground" in a non-theological context.[7]
>>>
There is additional relationship between the words adam and adamah and the word dam (דם), meaning blood.[10] This justifies the presence in the Kashrut of the prohibition of the consumption of blood: the blood of a slaughtered animal must be returned to the ground, and covered with earth.[11]
The meaning of the name Mordecai is typically given as Persian for "little man", or derived from the name Merodach, "worshiper of Mars"...
INGENUITY
The logo designer adapted the iconic NASA red worm font. NASA Red is Pantone color 179.
The link is to the word used in the Bible for the red scarlet color that was produced from a certain female worm.
179 is the sum of the phrase "venahafoch hu" [ונהפוך הוא], from Est 9:1. It has been popularized as the statement for everything turning to the contrary for Haman, the enemy of the Jews.
In Psalm 22, King David described himself as a worm (same word). A traditional teaching about Psalm 22 is that David prophetically composed the psalm for Queen Esther, for to pray during her years of isolation in the palace. Or, how to cope and persevere through social distancing to the extreme.
Back to the worm font for NASA, the agency whose mission is to go up, to lift off.
"NASA" also "just happens to be" the transliteration in the dictionaries for the Hebrew verb meaning to lift up:
The Scarlet A is without its crossbar, alluding to a rocket's nose cone/crew capsule.
Normally, the word "MARS" is spelled with an A following after the M, obviously, but the emblem representing Ingenuity takes the worm font changes even further by removing the scarlet letter A entirely. (That famous story is about the woman named Hester.)
In the place of the scarlet letter A stands Ingenuity - Ginny for short, which is a common nickname for a woman named... Virginia.
Now *that's* ingenuity! It's the very soul of the Messiah, who is on a mission from God:
Ingenuity, born from Perseverance, hovers above Jezero Crater, the ancient seabed on Mars named for a village in B&H which seems to have been filled with water in antiquity, what with the accounts of ships' anchor stones found up on the town's distinctive, pyramid-shaped mountain.
The soul of Moshiach is one of the first things in existence and one of the loftiest. Its creation preceded all other aspects of creation. As our sages say, on the second verse of Bereishit, And the earth was null and void, and a spirit of G-d hovered over the face of the water, The spirit of G-d: this is the soul of Moshiach.
It "just so happens" that the first line of Ingenuity's Hebrew wikipedia page states that Ingenuity's nickname -- lit. "name of affection" (shem chibah)-- is Ginny:
"shem chibah Ginny"
שם חיבה ג'יני
Yet if a little room is allowed in "affection" (chibah חיבה), making it into two words, the phrase reads as:
Shem Chai bah: Ginny
שם חי בה ג'יני
Which is to say that the "Living Name שם חי is in her -- Ginny."
The Sages teach us that the Spirit of God here referred to is in fact the soul of Mashiach (which permutes to shem chai, the living name).

Actually, while writing the post I had merely looked at the phrase "father of Adam" and suddenly remembered the "little man" named Adam whose father is John.
John Walsh became a household name as the father who never gives up his search for lost children, and of seeking justice for them.
I hopped over to wikipedia for a quick refresher and it "just so happened" that today is the day.
On the afternoon of July 27, 1981, Adam accompanied his mother Revé on a shopping trip to the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida (26°00′46″N 80°10′30″W). They went to Sears, entering through the north entrance.[6][7] Revé intended to inquire about a lamp that was on sale[8] and left Adam at a kiosk with Atari 2600 video games on display, where several other boys were taking turns playing them.[9] Revé completed her business in the lamp department around 12:15 p.m.[6][10] She said that she returned to find that Adam and the other boys had disappeared. A store manager informed her that a scuffle had broken out over whose turn it was at the kiosk, and a security guard demanded that the boys leave the store.[11]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Adam_Walsh
The date today (marking 40 years), the north entry location, a lamp inquiry, a video game console argument cause by the laws of nature, a stage (Hollywood Mall in Hollywood), a 17 YO "security guard" at Seers arriving to "solve" the problem, and the result of all this was that little 6 YO Adam was left alone long enough to be snapped up by a predator and savagely murdered and beheaded.
Compare the story of Purim with that of our other holidays. Ever notice how the plot features no open miracles? No seas split, no mass revelation, no dwelling in clouds for forty years, and no overcoming an enemy a hundred times our size using guerrilla warfare. What did happen? A lot of people were in the right place at the right time to provide just the political clout necessary when needed. What a coincidence.
Of course, the word coincidence is not part of the Jewish lexicon. All these events were deliberately orchestrated from Above-- only that the conductor stood behind stage.
***
As long as the scuffles keep breaking out over whose turn it is at the kiosk of this video game were starring in that we call the laws of nature...
Innocent children will end up like Adam, just "because".
Joseph was the 17 YO left for dead and sold into Egypt before his brothers would change their minds. Joseph was isolated from his father and brothers for 22 years. Joseph never stopped loving his brothers who hated him. Some people might end up in jail for years on false charges and languish in a state of hopelessness and despair.
Joseph had a lot of time to observe anything and everything going on around him, especially as he was given charge of the prisoners, which is why dream interpretation appeared to be so easy for him.
Esther spent a lot of time in the palace, isolated from her people. Safe bet she wasn't scrubbing floors, but even a floor-scrubber has all of that scrubbing time to think about the world and how it all works, even how to make it a better place. Not like floor scrubbing demands mental focus, like say rocket science.
Well, until I posted this thread and stood up to walk away from the computer. This immediately started up. Not this one exactly, but it was an instrumental with similar instruments. Yet it actually sounded more like Peter Maul and Mary's version singing as "Let My People Go." Either way, there are no words..
Go Tell It On The Mountain | Christmas Carol On Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo | Instrumental With Lyrics
The next song was
The Highwaymen - Michael (Row The Boat Ashore).
The next was Buddy Holly singing:
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,
Everyone says go ahead and ask her,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Then I lost track because I figured I'd better return to the desk to write this stuff down, even if nobody believes me.
It's all orchestrated. :)
It's amazing what's out there..
Some key details about the Spirit rover, for example.
"Ruach" as the Hebrew wiki page translates.
Its launch was a few months after the Columbia ("dove") disaster, so it was *that* rover that landed near some hills (there are options) which were immediately named in honor of the seven Columbia astronauts.
As many would remember, the final space shuttle Columbia's crew included Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut.
Spirit landed near Ma'adim Vallis. It was sent there in search of evidence of lakebed sediment.
This particular valley was named for the Hebrew name for Mars, but not because of the astronaut. It was named back in 1973 as per the convention:
A vallis is a valley. On Mars large valles are named after words for Mars/star in various languages. Small valles are named after classical or modern names of rivers.
It "just so happened" that the Spirit rover landed near the large valley on Mars with the Hebrew name for Mars.
If you've come this far, then you will see how this links up with the information I posted in the thread about the Spirit of Elohim.
That's because Columbia is a dove, which is also traditionally associated with the Shekinah and Rachel. And as with Rachel, Spirit died on Sol 2208.
That's noted right here at the very beginning of the article.
You might also recall that Rachel is encoded within "Ruach Elohim" in every other letter:
רוח אלהים
Joseph got it from his mother.
Folks just don't appreciate what has already been done on their behalf. A mother's love...
In related news, the District of Columbia is a veritable helonym, as it is the most infamous swamp on the face of the earth.
*That's* where those who are found with Laban's idols are found. Rachel was a visionary for sure. Even the house is named for him.
Despite NASAs attempts at anthropomorphism, the Mars rovers do not talk, so Spirit was unable to utter any last words. But we did get to share its final view. Behold, our departed rovers last Martian vista, the Columbia Hills.
At the moment I pasted the above onto my screen, a song came on the radio. So much for a quick post! I've gotta roll with this to see where it takes me...
It was an instrumental version of John Denver's Calypso. I'd never heard an instrumental version of Calypso that I know about.
No words, but I could supply them [hidden] in my head, especially the chorus (refrain) because it's the catchy part that repeats:
Aye, Calypso the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
Spirit was unable to utter any last words. But we did get to share its final view:
As per the day-for-a-year analog based on the Sol date of Spirit's death (Rachel's soul in year 2208)...
In year 2175, the corresponding Hebrew year of this last image, Isaac was aged 127 and Jacob and Esav were 67.
67, same as "a Jewish Heart" and "the 4th of July" (those share all the same letters).
Considering that the final view of Spirit was "Columbia Hills"... which are 7 hills, and the letter zayin (7) = 67 (the word "zayin")...
And 67 is the "oni" part of the name Benoni, the name Rachel gave to her son as her soul departed in childbirth in year 2208 (for she died, taking the name with her, specifically only that "oni" part of the name because "Benjamin" retains the first half, ben meaning "son", a sol via word play).
(Oh and now I hear Kate Smith singing, "God Bless America", which was written by the man whose birth name was Israel)
To continue,
Columbia ("dove") is "yona" in Aramaic, so the final letter is an alef, making the sum = 67.
Binah (understanding) = 67
as does Betelgeuse (the name of the massive star), which is the Bet El Jews, the House of the God of the Jews. (It's massive.)
As Buck Owens sang, with his famous Bakerfield sound:
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that's ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Because Hollywood (holy wood) = 67
Movie Stars!
Set a spell.
Take yer shoes off.
Y'all come back how, hear?
The place you are standing is holy ground. It would explain why Jerusalem was reunited in '67, on 6/7 (or 7/6 if you prefer, being the Spirit of..)
***
It's true that I only drink decaf! :)
It's okay if people laugh in a good-natured way (not like Ishmael, mocking).
That's the point.
I mean come on, Look at Buck, he stepped right out of Mission Control for that "Together Again" album cover! In the role of the famous Chief Flight Director no less..
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
And all I gotta do is act naturally
As I wrap this up, the song selection "just so happens to be" Buck singing
Love's gonna live here [again].
Which follows in his singles chronology right on the heels of Act Naturally.
I learn something new every day. It all adds up bit by bit.
There are many questions about the rebuilt Temple; e.g. will it be constructed after the return of the Messiah, or will it drop down from the sky, just like that - bam! - ready to go?
If I were to take a guess based on what I've observed so far, I'd go with the latter, which is Marta's version, seeing that she was named after Mars: ("Marta, Marta!" starting at about the 40 sec. mark.)
Gotta know where to look (high on a hill where there was a lonely goatherd).
Bam!
(I had to roll with this to see where it would take me.)
Crazy thing going on with the unusual music mix on the radio station I only discovered last week, because that last sentence came along with The Washington Post March popping up in the background, so I looked that up (because there's always something more to learn) and:
The "two step" became so strongly identified with Sousa's march that the dance was often called "The Washington Post"
It's a dance, but that's not all because it's right in line with what I had just typed:
two-step verification
Two-step verification is a process that involves two authentication methods performed one after the other to verify that someone or something requesting access is who or what they are declared to be.

Funny -- I wanted to post an image of the album cover ("FORWARD MARCH!" from the US Army Band) that appears with the above link to The Washington Post March, but the only decent ones were from the Amazon site. That's not unusual, but in this situation, haha well we all know that Bezos *owns* the Washington Post.
This photo from the wiki page for The Washington Post is even better:

Spirit's twin was Opportunity.
The Reverend Mother always says:Ingenuity: reborn on Mars by way of Perseverance."When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window."
What else does the Reverend Mother say?
That you have to look for your life.
Is that why you came back?
It started on Saturday, April 4th, 2021 with that 30 Sol window of opportunity, but she just keeps on "nailing it" as the headline writers have been keen to emphasize.
Mars rovers do not talk
Ginny, OTOH... just doesn't know when to shut up!
Oh Happy Day!
The short version of this post is my tagline:
Which brings us to Purim.
Why we wear disguises on Purim
The custom to wear disguises on Purim in general is based on G-d’s hiding His identity in the Megillah of Esther. The salvation of the Jewish People seems to be accomplished through the actions of people alone, and G-d’s Name doesn’t appear once.
https://www.ou.org/holidays/why_we_wear_disguises_on_purim/
Although the name YHVH is encoded several times in Esther... He's there, but hidden...
I think we need to call in a dermatologist. Pronto.
It's okay... those Mars-Days are *Sol* days, not Mole Days.
Oct 23rd from 6:02 a.m. - 6:02 p.m. Mark your calendar!
(The origin is the Latin sol for sun, but I read somewhere that from its beginnings at JPL, the word for a Mars-Day is supposed to be pronounced like "Saul". Mmmm-kay. Solar, solstice... regular people know to pronounce sol with a long o, not a short one. Now if anyone is interested in *sol*ving a problem in a new way, this particular issue can and should be revisited.)
Did you know that the World to Come is self-screening?
It's full of pun factories. Naturally there will be those who are going to be highly offended and repelled and will want to stay far far away. Trouble is that they will do anything to warn others of the "danger".
Then there will be those who can't wait to start the day and get to work. Work? What work? There's no work on the Far Side, only the thrill of discovery and making everything good again.
I mean come on, if we can know on *this* side exactly why that BUSH burned with fire, but was not consumed...
(it had some help from Hashem -- having been blessed not only by its famous discoverer as seen in those B"H links, but also by the man who was named Israel at birth)...
...imagine what info is sitting in plain sight just beyond?!
Joseph was instructed to name his scandalous new arrival "JESUS" [in all caps, no less], because the tot's mission was to save *his* people from their sins.
See what I mean? Talk about lost in translation.
Start singing *that* tune and suddenly the famous bar scene repeats, the one where the band on a Mission from God naively chose "Gimme Some Lovin'". What's not to love? Yet those lights went out on purpose. But then Ingenuity stepped in just in the nick of time:
Okay. We gotta figure out something these people like and fast.Hey I got it. Remember the theme from Rawhide?
The old favorite. Rowdy Yates.
What key?
"A" Good country key.
Rawhide in A!
Raw hides. That's why the Holy Tongue is called Pun-ish. Some folks just never learn! Thank God that by nature it's full of holes. That's a good example of how God places the cure before the disease.
And remember when I mentioned that Americans weren't just the first (and only!) people to ever walk on the Moon, but a veritable red-blooded American was the first man to walk on Earth?
Crazy talk.
Yet the tell was in the simple fact that he listened to his wife. Who listens to his wife?!
It's like that. :)
Here's the band on a Mission from God, Pershing's Own. Or, where to find a hundred men, just like that (Oddball needs a bridge):
Forward March! The Stars And Stripes Forever
It's the official national march.
Hebrew [כוכבים ופסים לנצח]:
Kokavim and Passim for the win!
DAVID SEEDS - An American Original
Wow, now we can even "get the t-shirt". A New Balance!
march (formal, rhythmic way of walking):
Hebrew: צעידה f (tseidá)
Hah, that *is* the drunk test...
צעידה = 179, venahafoch hu!
"When wine enters, secrets are revealed". (Eruvin 65a)179 = sod David haMelech [סוד דוד המלך] = Medina sod [מדינה סוד], which was the iconic bowling shirt worn by The Dude [*ה*דוד], the actor name Bridges:Wine [in Hebrew "yayin"] comes from a hidden place; therefore its numerical value is 70, which is the same as the word "secret" [in Hebrew, "sod"]. (Chidushei Aggadah, Sanhedrin)
See, it's all Good, man.
In case anyone suspects that I'm drunk, check those commentaries about Purim, where they explain that the idea is to drink enough *not* to know the difference between "Blessed be Mordecai" and "Cursed be Haman."
Was there a nip gin involved in writing those??? Because you'd have to be drunk to think there is a difference. It's the sober person who knows that a bad day for Haman *is* a good day for Mordecai.
The Stars And Stripes Forever: Sousa's first line (strain) is:
Let martial note in triumph float
Just thought I'd mention it, in the spirit of
"Hold muh beer!" ~ God
Because
"We're bustin' outta here!" ~ Moses
Forward, March.
Just after writing this morning's long post, The Seekers came onto the radio, but not with Georgy Girl. Rather,
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you..
Then a little while later,
A World of Our Own
Somewhere in there was a third song but it was obscure to I don't know which one.
It was enough to check up on basic information.
Can you believe they are still around?!
I put the band's name into a video search and was surprised to see this concert video, from 1993. Beautiful (written in 1992), do not miss this one (best to keep it on while reading the rest of the post):
The Seekers -- Keep a Dream in your pocket
But then here they are singing this one again in 2019!
Keep a Dream in Your Pocket
The Seekers
Keep a dream in your pocket and a song in your heart;
Keep the lamp of your learnin' burnin' bright.
Keep your eye on your horizon and a smile on your face
As you travel down the highway of your life.
Don't listen to those voices that say it can't be done;
They build walls where there was never one before.
No, there's nothing that can stop you, nothing that can drag you down,
If you keep lookin' for that ever-open door.
So if you follow your dream to the end of the road,
Taking care not to let it fade away (not fade away),
If you follow your dream and you follow it well,
It will lead you to the promise of a bright, shiny day.
Well, imagine if Columbus had not dreamt the world was round,
And Armstrong had not walked upon the Moon,
If John and Paul never wrote a song for "Yesterday, "
If all of them had given up too soon.
Yes, they were always taking chances, looking for the answers
That took the whole world to higher ground.
Keep a dream in your pocket,
Keep a dream in your heart.
Keep your dream forever;
Don't let it fade away.
Keep a dream in your pocket,
Keep a dream in your heart.
Keep your dream forever;
Don't let it fade away.
Looks like The Seekers are the lone band of prophets who escaped getting whacked!
They obviously took the messages from a good heart to heart, because look -- their name is the simple meaning.
Ah, clever, who would suspect:
THE SEEKERS
See, I never know what I'll discover on any given day. That song is absolute gold, from the Seekers who are from AU, with their distinctive vocalist named Judith.
And it was just yesterday that Esther (lit. doe a deer) finally brought her darling twins out of the woodwork for me to see for the first time. (I'm so proud!)
THE SEEKERS
--->
SEEK ESTHER
All in the timing. I checked the Hebrew spelling of "The Seekers" (there's a Hebrew wiki page).
Perhaps people might assume that I try to "make meanings" from playing with letters and order, but I take the hits because I'm interested in and delight in discovering that which is already obvious on the surface. And the topic *is* Esther, and the revealing of the hidden, and it "just so happened" that these things dropped down when they did. It doesn't get more obvious on the surface than "The Seekers".
As for the Hebrew, I've long used permutations and numeric sums for language-building exercises and mnemonics based on their relationships to the plain text. I never was very good with textbooks, save for using them to cure insomnia.
The Seekers:
המשחרים
= 603, which is אבן המיל המוזהבת, the Miliarium Aureum (the phrase can be tracked to Hebrew from the wiki "Milestone" page, not off the specific page for the stone).
The Milliarium Aureum (Classical Latin: [miːllɪˈaːrɪ.ũː ˈau̯rɛ.ũː]; Italian: Miliario Aureo), also known by the translation Golden Milestone, was a monument, probably of marble or gilded bronze, erected by the Emperor Caesar Augustus near the Temple of Saturn in the central Forum of Ancient Rome. All roads were considered to begin at this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured relative to it.[1] On it perhaps were listed all the major cities in the empire and distances to them,[2] though the monument's precise location and inscription remain matters of debate among historians.
According to Philip Schaff,[3] the phrase "all roads lead to Rome" is a reference to the Milliarium Aureumthe specific point to which all roads were said to lead. A marble structure speculated to be the base of the milestone is present in the Roman Forum.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliarium_Aureum
(I checked my file data and saw the Miliarium Aureum in there only after I wrote about the gold.)
More of interest here for 603 (3 x 3 x 67) which is the value of the seekers:
where the heart is [היכן שהלב נמצא]
generic name (generic trademark) [שם גנרי]
place of the house (Temple), makom habeit [מקום הבית]:
"This refers to the place of the Temple. It will then be called the holy mountain because the Divine Presence will dwell there:"
"but for Adam there was not found a help to match him" (Gen 2.20)
Adam: "cat"
Eve: "Cocoa!"Adam: "horse"
Eve: "Hoppy!"Adam: "serpent"
Eve: "Dirtnap!"
603, "for there is no enchantment (nachash - serpent) with Jacob" (Num 23:23)
(Glad I could help.)
Anyway, the permutations of "The Seekers" hold inherent promise, especially these:
רחמי השם
God's mercy
משיח מהר
Messiah quickly, Messiah from the mountain
(But there's more involving Moses, Serach, and the water.)
"The Seekers" is more literally "the dawns", which connects directly to Esther because she is known as the "Doe of the Dawn", on the same word basis.
And then there's the English, the Hebrew, and the numbers all rolling together:
THE SEEKERS ---> SEEK THREES:
603: The 3 "R's (The English letter R, אר, equals 201, so times 3),
which connects to the rule of three:
The rule of three is a writing principle that suggests that a trio of events or characters is more humorous, satisfying, or effective than other numbers. The audience of this form of text is also thereby more likely to remember the information conveyed because having three entities combines both brevity and rhythm with having the smallest amount of information to create a pattern.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(writing)
;)
THE SEEKERS
--->
SEEK THE RES..
Now *that's* what I'd call a prize for playing!
And all I gotta do is act naturally.
Just one more thing..
At the beginning I mentioned the song that inspired this entire post:
I'll Never Find Another You.
It has a Hebrew wiki page so I checked out the translation used:
"לעולם לא אמצא אחרת כמוך"
The gematria search returns the sums of words or phrases in the Tanakh.
The first place that the sum (1034) appears is in the beginning, in Gen 1:2:
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep; And a spirit from God hovered [ורוח אלהים מרחפת] upon the face of the waters:
I'll never find another you.
Anyone want to argue with the soul of the Messiah?
So if you follow your dream to the end of the road,
Taking care not to let it fade away (not fade away),
If you follow your dream and you follow it well,
It will lead you to the promise of a bright, shiny day.
~ Judith Durham
(The hope of 2000 years.)

In the Beginning was a Big Bang.
The Big 80,000 bet:
Number of Words and Roots in the Torah
Question: How many distinct words (different root words) are there in the Torah?
Answer: This is a complicated question. Let me give you some basic stats:
There are 80,000 words (all numbers are rounded) in the Torah
There are 2000 roots in the entire Bible (RADACK, Book of Roots)
The concept of Biblical root is not well defined. Some words are perceived as belonging to different roots depending on the scholar classifying them
In addition to count there is the concept of frequency. Basically about 10,20% of the roots occurring in the Torah occur 70,80% of the time. For example the root Alep Mem Resh (AMR to speak) occurs 600 times in Genesis alone.http://www.jewishanswers.org/ask-the-rabbi-3147/number-of-words-and-roots-in-the-torah/
"United States of America" [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000
The dramatic Caddyshack conclusion was all about a big bet, which is literally the very first letter of the Torah (an enlarged bet, 2000). 2000 X 40 = 80,000
In golf, the nineteenth hole is a slang term for a pub, bar, or restaurant on or near the golf course, very often the clubhouse itself.[1] A standard round of golf has only eighteen holes of play.[2] An alternate term for a bar is a "watering hole;" thus, by extension, continuing the day after 18 holes of golf at a watering hole makes the bar a "nineteenth hole."
The 19th letter of the Torah is the letter mem, which means water. It is the middle letter of the word ha-shamayim, "the heavens". In the heavens *is* the water, she-mayim.
The sum total of the first 19 letters of the Torah adds up to 1948:
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמ
and as such reads as, "In the beginning, God created the name"
What name? "The name" that is literally located in the heavens
The sum of Gen 1:1 is 2701: 1948 + 753, the number associated with the founding of Rome, where all roads lead (high).

"Go Laugh!"
Don't listen to those voices that say it can't be done;
They build walls where there was never one before.
No, there's nothing that can stop you, nothing that can drag you down,
If you keep lookin' for that ever-open door.

Sounds like a good name for a drinking game.
Gotta laugh at the abbreviation for West, considering the location and contexts of these posts about Esther, threes, sherry and seeking through water:
"from 70" (wine)
Which might explain how America became India/Hodu and the natives became Indians.
Dots, feathers... who can keep track anymore?
A long while back I dove into the etymology of columba and all sorts of weird things happened. One funny thing is the debate and confusion over the meaning about diving (Greek, which pulls in the word for "pool") because doves don't dive into the water. And this was all serious too. Didn't any of those scholars ever step back and really see or hear what they were saying?
And it just got worse with the related Spanish word paloma. We can see the similarity in plume, plumage, but then there's my Italian favorize, piombo (or rather senza piombo, 40 l). Pb is connected through the color, the gray. But it gets back to the diving - plumb weights, lead balloons...
Always entertaining. Where there's smoke there's fire.
Christopher Columbus, a Jew? Not much of a disguise!
This has been an odd week for a lot of old information suddenly coming together in new ways from unusual directions, and this Hebrew compass rose is a literal example.
The Hebrew is a wind rose, "rose of the winds", so there is a direct link to Shushan, even regardless of direction. All winds lead to the rose.
West is the direction of the key with the 3 flats -- "E" flat, which is "mi bemol" (have fun with those Hebrew words and letters)
This is the one that stands out:
There is a word play with the abbreviation for West, and "Maine", the direction from Spain (yeah the rhymes go on).
Maine is the place of first light (sunrise) on the United States of America.
Maine is a place name not unlike America in that there are the stock explanations for its origin, but any definitive source remains obscure.
While Maine is spelled the same as "from wine", ayin and wine sound alot alike and here the letters are together (mem and ayin) representing the direction/word for West.
So basically m'ayin, what is on the rose in the correct position in the narrative.
Back to the obscure origin of the place name... hmmm?
Certainly ma'arav doesn't sound like Maine, but when reduced to the appearance of the first two letters like on a directional indicator, strange things are afoot at the Circle K.
And it gets even more interesting when comparing a compass rose with the standard Latin letters:
Starting from the top, Maestro...

I'll have to investigate that name for the mariner's compass north point (Tramontana),

It reminds me of that certain "city on the hill".
You know how it is with the Megillah and all the seemingly random details that eventually turn out to make perfect sense.
Why wait!
Decorations on Compass Roses
Although some Portolan charts merely depicted intersecting rhumb lines without a compass rose, many included decorative and elaborate roses. Some were simple, labeled with the initials of the 8 major winds in the mariner's lingua franca, with a "T" (for Tramontana) indicating North. Since North was the cardinal direction to which the magnetic needle pointed, it was prominently depicted on maps.

Indeed, this is great, and I haven't even dug into the actual word yet!

"T"
Jackpot, because it *is* the simple meaning, as north is the direction of the hidden on any number of levels, traditions, etc.
(Hebrew north is tzaphon, which connects up with Joseph's cipher name Tzaphat Paaneach.)
Literally, "to a T":
(idiomatic) Precisely; exactly; perfectly; with great attention to detail.
The origins of this phrase are uncertain, but it has been observed in print since at least 1766, and likely was around well before that.
