okay just before we get going past this and I'll say which is this week's Parsha has the uh the rare distinction of being the longest Parsha in the hummish it's 176 verses long it's a shame when we get to the end of the week you'll see the reason why it's so long is because there's a whole series of different sacrifices that are repeated over and over again inaugural sacrifices of the Tabernacle we'll get there we'll talk about it um I mentioned last week momentarily that uh that um this year normally comes after this is quite a rare occurrence when we have it in just before and uh so I once had a very beautiful idea actually that the idea of this pleasure is not so coming straight after schwizz or being around for us 176 is 8 times 22. you know wow that's incredible you always told us you had trouble with math oh I do have problems I'm not I I can't tell you from my own personal research that eight times twenty two is 176 somebody told me that and I'm accepting it as true being mathematically challenged I wouldn't know if it's true or not but uh you know if he said it he said it's true then it's true right um does it start out with 21 in it oh you know what gets that in a moment hold on a second just just to to carry on with the uh with the idea I think it's a very beautiful idea there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet
