  1. Wow oh wow! A sign from above, holy korbanos. (Neshama)

  2. The first סביב is preceded by זר זהב - a golden crown. This perhaps can be for Ariel Bibas.

    The second סביב is preceded by מסגרת טפח, which has the gematria of 800. This is the gematria of שירי וירדן plus the letters and the kollel.

    The third סביב is also preceded by זר זהב - a golden crown. This perhaps can be for Kfir Bibas.

    הי"ד.

    1. And before the second סביב there is טפח which has the same letters as חטוף (hostage).

  3. Yaak I knew you'd find something. Amazing.

  4. Why would we find Saviv three times with the Shulchan and only once with the Aron? So we actually have a fourth Bibas with the Aron. Since both the Shulchan and the Aron have a Golden crown. In reality, think of a Zer as a Crown of flowers or a wreath of flowery shapes.

    I must admit. After a year and five months of this pain, I am having a difficult time with more Qorbanot.

    1. The 4th Saviv ("backward Bibas") is a few verses before the three that are in close proximity in the text. I think it's passuk yud-aleph (verse 11). You could argue that it is a hint that the father, Yarden, was separated from his wife and children.

  5. The one crown on the Aron is the Crown of Torah. The three crowns on the Shulchan are the Crowns of Melekh HaMashiach?

  6. I’m thinking the "misgeret topach saviv" - which means something about putting a frame all around - can be how Shiri wrapped her children in her arms in that now-famous image of her shielding her boys from the monsters. You could say Shiri's arms were the frame surrounding her babies.
    And the "zer zahav saviv" - golden crown all around - could refer to the babies’ distinct hair colour crowning their heads. The boys were known all over the world by their hair - it’s what made them so unique and the symbol of all the hostages. What an incredible reference in the Parsha!

    1. Yes I also drew a connection between the gold and the orange, notably everyone was wearing or posting orange.

    2. I also like what you said about the father being separated from the others.
      There is so much here to discover.

  7. The HafTorah of this week also had this word three times in the same passuk.

    1. Can you tell us where in the Haftarah? I looked, but couldn't find the word "saviv".

    2. I can't find it there either. I don't think it's in the Haftarah, don't know what they are speaking of.

    2. Here is a link to the Haftarah for Terumah, but maybe you're speaking about a different week??

    3. The Anonymous commenter is referring to the Haftarah for Parshat Trumah in years when there are 2 Adars and when the Maftir for Shekalim is not read on the same day. That Haftarah encompasses Chapters 5 and 6 of Melakhim Aleph. When the Maftir for Shekalim is read on the Shabbat of Trumah (as was the case last Shabbat), a Haftarah describing the collection of Makhtzit HaShekel is Melakhim Bet is read.

      Melakhim Aleph 6
      ה וַיִּבֶן עַל-קִיר הַבַּיִת יצוע יָצִיעַ, סָבִיב, אֶת-קִירוֹת הַבַּיִת סָבִיב, לַהֵיכָל וְלַדְּבִיר; וַיַּעַשׂ צְלָעוֹת, סָבִיב. 5 And against the wall of the house he built a side-structure round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the sanctuary; and he made side-chambers round about;
      ו היצוע הַיָּצִיעַ הַתַּחְתֹּנָה חָמֵשׁ בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ, וְהַתִּיכֹנָה שֵׁשׁ בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁית, שֶׁבַע בָּאַמָּה רָחְבָּהּ: כִּי מִגְרָעוֹת נָתַן לַבַּיִת סָבִיב, חוּצָה, לְבִלְתִּי, אֲחֹז בְּקִירוֹת-הַבָּיִת. 6 the nethermost story of the side-structure was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made rebatements in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.--

    4. Oh it was the regular HaTorah I read not the Shabbos Rosh Chodesh HafTorah.
      But the regular HafTorah. It was Melachim Aleph Perek Vuv Passuk Hey.

  9. Wow, three witnesses! סביב = 74 (עד)
    74 x 3 = 222, so following in after/before the 333 in the spiritual meaning of snow,
    222 is 2 alefs, elef (1000) x 2 = 2000
    The hope of 2000 years.

  10. It was the HafTorah for Trumah, should have said for Rosh Chodesh. But the fact that it coincides with the Trumah parsha. Malachim Aleph Perek Vuv think it was passuk hey or Vuv.

    1. Sorry if I offend you, Anonymous at 4:49AM, but I just have to correct your spelling of "HafTorah". The word has nothing to do with "Torah". It's spelled with a Tet, not a Tav (הפטרה). In English letters, it can be spelled "Haftarah" or "Haftorah", depending on pronunciation, but it is not related to the word Torah (תּוֹרָה).
      Again, I don't mean to offend or criticize. Just wanted to clarify.

  11. Thank you for the explanation.
