This is a photo of the final resting place of the car that ploughed through pedestrians at Times Square NY earlier today. As you can see it is underneath a sign that says 1515 Broadway. There was some speculation on a conspiracy site that this sign weirdly suggested ''ISIS" - but a quick search on the internet for the gematria of 1515 came up with the following:
From Rabbi Ginsburgh:
1515 = 15 x מיכאל [Micha’el]. We have previously noted that Micha’el [מיכאל ], whose numerical value is equal to 101, is considered the angelic minister of the Jewish people, Israel. The numerical value of Israel- ישראל is 541. Amazingly, the 101st prime number is 541!
1515 = 15 x מיכאל [Micha’el]. We have previously noted that Micha’el [מיכאל ], whose numerical value is equal to 101, is considered the angelic minister of the Jewish people, Israel. The numerical value of Israel- ישראל is 541. Amazingly, the 101st prime number is 541!
Let us examine the names of the angels in context of their mission: Micha’el came to give Sarah the news of Isaac’s upcoming birth; Gavri’el came to destroy Sodom; and, Repha’el came to heal Abraham. Taking the sum of the angels’ names with the objects of their mission, we get that:
מיכאל שרה ┴ גבריאל סדם ┴ רפאל אברהם = 1515 = שרה שרה שרה
Now, the numerical value of Sarah [שרה] is 505, which is 5 times the numerical value of Micha’el [מיכאל]:
שרה = 5 · מיכאל , or 5 · 101
Therefore, it follows that 1515 = 15 · מיכאל , or 15 times Micha’el.

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Daniel 12:1

ReplyDeleteCan't help recalling the phrase "Broad is the way that leads to destruction". Their book.
Wonderful post Devorah. It gives chizuk.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering, however, about this portion, "last page of the Talmud folio of Makot, and learn it well,” Rabbi Edelsten wrote” i.e., that there is more to extrapolate from this portion. I wonder who can do so?
Just to let you know, think and also read that 'Breaking News' site is not a Jewish site.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, it actually is a Jewish site, run by Jews. That is the first time I've ever linked to it, due to un-moderated comments from Xtians there, making everyone believe it is actually a Xtian site.
ReplyDeleteToday something "new" has been introduced to your blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't put my finger on it, but there seems some sort of a 'shift'has occurred.
My gut feeling is that your blog is taking a new turn. A turn to even more chizuk than previously.
Your light shines stronger than before.
Chazak Ubarukh!
I find if so interesting that the sign on the street-post indicates a RIGHT HAND TURN eg: ONE WAY arrow. Does that hint to the pasuk in the krias Sh'ma she'al ha'mito which we say x 3 before going to bed: B'shem Hashem Elokay Yisroel, Mi'Ymini Michoel etc. etc. loosel: In Hashem's name, Angel MICHOEL IS AT MY RIGHT HAND!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW: The above quote is from Siddur Ashkenaz as well as Siddur Sefrd.
ARIZAL'S Siddur is different. I don't know much about Siddur SEFARAD, but I'd love for one of your readers to enlighten me on this.
What do you think it all means, Devorah?
that's interesting: in Kabbalah the sefira of chessed [kindness] is also on the right - as opposed to gevurah [strength] on the left. Maybe it's a hint that the Geula is coming with KINDNESS.
