"I Am My Beloved's"
Our rabbis1 note that the name "Elul" is an acronym for the biblical phrase2 ani ledodi vedodi li-- "I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine." In other words, the intense love between G-d and the Jewish people comes to the surface during Elul.
***
Love. It is the most powerful of human emotions. We all crave it. We cannot live without it. And yet it is so overwhelming, so all-encompassing, that there is no way to measure it, prove it, define it, or even describe it.
When we speak of the intellect, it is represented by the mind. And when we speak of the emotions, specifically of love, they are represented by the heart. But why?
The symbol of the heart is probably one of the most well-known symbols. Spanning continents, cultures, religions, languages, that little red heart means love. It is used to sign letters, to represent the word "love" itself, and has inundated the buyers'; market by being plastered on cards, T-shirts, necklaces, balloons and just about everything else.
How is the image of the heart, as we most commonly know it, the symbol for this passionate experience of love?
The month that we are now in, Elul, is the key to unlocking the inner and most potent meaning of the heart. As is well known, the Hebrew letters that make the word "Elul," aleph, lamed, vav and lamed, are an acronym for the phrase (from the biblical Song of Songs) ani l'dodi v'dodi li, which means "I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me."
This beautiful and romantic phrase is that which represents our relationship with our Creator, which is often paralleled to that of a husband and wife, a bride and groom, in our individual lives...
The Jewish Heart: The Secret of Elul
By Sara Esther Crispe
***
It is explained in the article directly above, that the last letter of the Torah joined to the first spells lev (לב, "heart"). What's not mentioned is that Elul [אלול] has the same value as a Jewish Heart [לב יהודי], 67, so I might as well mention it.
To expand on the letter connections...
Three words -- the last two words of the Torah connected to the first say
ALL ISRAEL IN THE BEGINNING
כל ישראל בראשית
| 5 | 0 | |
| 5 | 4 | 1 |
| 9 | 1 | 3 |
[כל] 50 +
[ישראל] 541 +
[בראשית] 913 =
1504
The sum also appears as this phrase:
" מגילת אסתר במשיח"
The Scroll of Esther ("star") in the Messiah...
What's so special about 1504?
Hexadecimal --
"Software developers and system designers widely use hexadecimal numbers because they provide a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values."
The numbers-a-plenty link has a table at the top, making it plain that in bin, 1504 is 10111100000.
And in hex, 1504 is 5E0, which can be decoded to provide a human-friendly representation:

Why is Joshua referred to in the Torah as "bin" Nun?
(It has to do with understanding.)
"Today, if you will hearken to my voice":
A story is told in the Talmud:1 Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi meets Elijah the Prophet and asks, "When will Mashiach come?"
Elijah responds, "Why are you asking me? You can ask Mashiach himself."
"Really?! Where can I find Mashiach?"

Today in History: "I Have a Dream" ~ Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK, .מ.ל.ק._), initials synonymous with boulevards to avoid, in order to preserve life.
Joseph was hated for his dreams and ended up being sold down the river so to speak.
Into Egypt, where years down the river road,
the daughter of Pharaoh named Moses, Moses [משה], saying, "because I drew him out of the water."
Mem is believed to derive from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, N35:
𓈖
Memnet: "Do you know the pattern of this cloth?"
Bithia: "If my son's covered in it, it is a royal robe."
"Fill the ark with water. Sink it into silence."
(But Memnet -- being in the service of Pharaoh -- kept that cloth, the proof being in the pattern.)
Who's looking there, in Hollywood, deep in de Nile? Some might even think to dismiss a barbershop quartet comprised of four Swedes. Surely they fell off of a turnip truck.
Joseph was sold down the river, all the way down into Egypt. He couldn't sink because he was filled with love for his brothers...
Do you know the pattern of this cloth?
Floating down a dream river
With the Moon and stars above
Maybe they can help me find a way
To have your love.
Sleeping in the darkest room
Dreaming you are in my arms
Of how I wish my dream comes true
With all my heart...
(Lead: Rasmus, meaning "beloved")
In the same performance (July 1, 2021), here is Emanuel in the lead, singing
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me.
And I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling good.
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel.
River running free
You know how I feel...
In this concert, the Ringmasters also taught how to free the mind -- not to be afraid, in order to cause miracles:

This time a ripple
Next time a wave:

While the regional origins of barbershop quartet singing are not wholly agreed upon,[1] current organizations that promote the style typify it as an "old American institution."[2]
Do not cut corners, because
The defining characteristic of the barbershop style is the ringing chord, one in which certain overtones of the four voices reinforce each other, sometimes so strongly that the overtone is perceived by the listener as a distinct tone, even though none of the voices are perceived as singing that tone.
>>>
What is prized is not so much the "overtone" itself, but a unique sound whose achievement is most easily recognized by the presence of the "overtone". The precise synchrony of the waveforms of the four voices simultaneously creates the perception of a "fifth voice" while at the same time melding the four voices into a unified sound. The ringing chord is qualitatively different in sound from an ordinary musical chord e.g. as sounded on a tempered-scale keyboard instrument.
>>>
Averill notes the hints of rapture, "quasi-religion" and erotic passion in the language used by barbershoppers to describe the emotional effect. He quotes Jim Ewin as reporting "a tingling of the spine, the raising of the hairs on the back of the neck, the spontaneous arrival of goose flesh on the forearm ... the fifth note has almost mysterious propensities. It's the consummation devoutly wished by those of us who love Barbershop harmony. If you ask us to explain why we love it so, we are hard put to answer; that's where our faith takes over."
... and the baritone [Emanuel] completes the chord.
Follow the star, literally. The star -- of David -- only appears over one of the men -- the youngest, Emanuel:

His is a face to remember.
Rasmus was on the piano, not singing. Jakob provided the lead voice.

Here's a related fun fact: today, 8/28, the first of Elul when the king first appears in the field. is the 620th day from the Ringmasters' O Holy Night performance.
620 is Keter (כתר, "crown"), the highest level on the tree of life. The crown on top of the worlds.
"Just sh***y pipe dreams" ~ Red [prisoner number 3026]
Are we there yet? Rhetorical question, but you'll have to pry it up to see all those 50s, all those... grants, coming directly from the Queen, to former prisoner number 3026, not the same man, number. Totally different language.
Dear Warden,
You were right. Salvation lay within.

Not to leave off Didier, who replaced Martin as the bass. Interesting name, did-ee-AY meaning much desired, beloved.
In Hebrew spelled as דידייה, which reminded me of ידידיה, because of the Lord.
Ezekiel, today as you so often do, you make a wonderful spectacle of your love for God. I understand little of what you posted, but I appreciate fully the spirit animating it. You’re going to be loads of heavenly fun.
This stuff keeps adding up.
Genesis 4144 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his 𓂧 or 𓃀 in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpa𓋹; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of EG𓇌PT.

Talk about messaging.
I mean seriously, who could then doubt? It'd be too much!
Imagine if the "What Not to Wear" team had got into his closet. They would have yanked that shirt out and tried to shame him into wearing proper professional get-ups.
😀
Didn't they cast lots for his coat?
Final sale.
Thanks for that link. It's always those other people who need to repent, eh?
Wow, I had to check if I had included those verses in the original post, because I had them in the mix at some point. Then I decided it was too much (I always have to cut back!).
John 19"whose it shall be"23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
There's where it all went horribly wrong. Like with Joseph's coat, it was not available for auction or sale at any price.
Seamless 5th part:
The precise synchrony of the waveforms of the four voices simultaneously creates the perception of a "fifth voice" while at the same time melding the four voices into a unified sound.how you fill in the *Gap* of Jesus' clothing choices:
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
