Spears and Shakespeare
Or the Exodus from
"גל עיני ואביטה נפלאות מתורתך"
"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law"
Psalms Chapter 119, 18
"I am my beloveds, and my beloved is mine"
Song of Songs Chapter 6, 3
How much is His speech so soft and quiet,
We get along, and our relations are so good,
The Lord (י-ה-ו-ה) has many fine traits -
He even refers nicely to the Angel of Death.

as Mephisto in Johanne W. Goethe's "Faust"

We begin this story with King Saul's spear. The spears are mentioned many times in the Prophet
Samuel's book. And there was difficult fighting against the
Philistines פלשתים.
Then all the elders
of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah, And said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons walk
not in your ways; now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing
displeased Samuel, when they have said; Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel
prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said
to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for
they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign
over them. Let them have a
king but they should continue to go by My ways.
Samuel also said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint
you to be king over his people, over
But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an
evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I
have rejected him from reigning over
But the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an
evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God
troubles you. Let our lord now command your servants, who are before you, to
seek out a man, who knows how to play on a lyre; and it shall come to pass,
when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand,
and you shall be well. And the choice
fell upon David. And David became
King Saul's servant. David took a lyre,
and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil
spirit departed from him.
My Soul Is Dark By: George Gordon, Lord Byron
My soul is dark. Oh! quickly string The harp I yet can brook to
hear; And let thy gentle fingers fling Its melting murmurs o'er
mine ear. If in this heart a hope be dear,
That sound shall charm it forth again:
If in these eyes there lurk a tear, Twill
flow, and cease to burn my brain. |
But bid the strain be wild and deep, Nor let thy notes of joy be
first: I tell thee, minstrel, I must weep, Or else this heavy heart
will burst; For it hath been by sorrow nursed, And
ached in sleepless silence long; And
now tis doomed to know the worst, And break at
once or yield to song. |

In the war with the
Philistines, victory did not always go to the Israelites. So the Philistines attacked again. And the Philistines gathered
together their armies to battle and were
gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to
And
the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle. But David went and
returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-Lehem. And Jesse said to
David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and
these ten loaves, and run to the camp to your brothersand he came and saluted his brothers. And as he talked with them,
behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name,
from the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and
David heard them (vituperative words against
the Israelites). And David spoke to the men
who stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man who kills this
Philistine, and takes away the reproach from
And
Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight
with him; for you are just a youth, and he a
man of war from his youth. And David
said to Saul, Your slave kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a
bear, and took a lamb from the flock; And I went out after him, and
struck him, and rescued it from its mouth; and when he arose against me, I
caught him by its beard, and struck him, and slew him. And David said, The Lord who
saved me from the paw of the lion, and from the paw of the bear, he will save
me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord
be with you. And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put a helmet of bronze
on his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he tried in vain to go;
he was not used to them. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I
am not used to them. And David took them off. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from
the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, and in his knapsack;
and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
Then
said David:but I come to you in the name of
the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of
After that, Saul began to
send David to fight in
From then on, Saul began to
persecute David but to no avail.
Once,
David stealthily cut off the corner of Saul's cloak and though he could have
killed him, he did not do so.
The hunt
after David ceased with the next war with the Philistines when David was not in
the camp. In that battle the Israelites
lost and was dispersed by the Philistines. When Saul saw that his enemies were about to reach him, he fell upon his
sword. But his soul did not leave
him just then, so he asked one of the Amalekites to kill him with his spear. Saul?s three son?s, with Jonathan among them, fell in
this battle. How did heroes
fall? And David lamented
with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son a bitter lament.
People,
do not cast spears upon your close ones, lest trouble come upon you! Weep, sons of Adam, do cry!
The conflict between families Saul and David was a
long time one. David was thirty
years old when he began to reign.
The
Creator chose David to strengthen His kingship with the Chosen People. King David'a fine warrior man, and a man of war, and
prudent in speech, and a handsome person, and the Lord is with him, praised and
glorified his Creator in the Book of Psalms that he himself wrote. And so at the height of his greatness, God put the
king to a test and revealed to him his true mate.
But David did not meet the test and did an evil thing
and thus turned his face to Satan (to angel Domeh).
The Prophet Nathan gave David
a message from God: Why have you
despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? You have killed
Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife. And therefore the
sword shall never depart from your house.you
shall not die. - (Samuel II 12:1-20): Then David swore to Bathsheba that their son would
become king over
The Harp the Monarch Minstrel Swept
The harp the monarch minstrel swept, The King of men, the loved of Heaven, Which Music hallow 'd
while she wept O'er tones her heart of hearts had given, Redoubled be her tears, its chords are riven! It soften 'd men
of iron mould, It gave them virtues not their own; No ear so dull, no soul so cold, That felt not, fired not to the tone, Till David's lyre grew mightier than his throne! |
It told the triumphs of our King, It wafted glory to our God; It made our gladden 'd
valleys ring, The cedars bow, the mountains nod; Its sound aspired to heaven and there abode! Since then, though heard on earth no more, Devotion and her daughter Love Still bid the bursting spirit soar To sounds that seem as from above, In dreams that day's broad light can not remove. |
... For love is strong
as death - (Song of Songs 8:6). The above poem is from Byron's collection of
poems, "Hebrew Melodies". Byron was
persuaded by a Jewish musician, Isaac Nathan, to write words for melodies,
which were no doubt the ancient songs of
These proofs we will hold for the knowledgeable ones.
Beyond that, Byron had many friends who had Jewish roots.
Now, let us look at David's
fate by using the factors of numbers. The significance of this
will be entirely clarified through the double duty that the letter Samech (ס) has. It is well known that the Book of Psalms has 150
psalms. Why just this number?
Let
us factor out this number: 150
= 1 *2 * 3 * 5 *
Now, let us factor out the number 210 =1 * 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 . The number 7 symbolizes
the number of the days of Creation and the Sabbath, the seven planets and the
seven heavens and so forth.
The difference between 150 and 210: 210 - 150 = 60, where 60 is the
numerical value of the letter Samech (ס).
For a time David was successful, fate was favorable to him. However, after
awhile, trouble came down upon his head. Because, at first the letter Samech (ס)
helped him but later it showed him its sinister side. The very name of the fifteenth letter shows its duality. The Gematria of the word Samech (סמך) is 60 (ס) + 40 (מ) + 20 (כ) = 120 =
60 + 60. The conclusion: The
letter Samech (ס) has two
sides: One side is to support, to prop, while the other side
is tied to God's anger, to Satan שטן, סטן (with the Gematria of 119). The polarity of
the two sides of the fifteenth letter separates this letter from all the other
letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Previous to the letter Samech (ס), is the
letter Nun (נ), the fourteenth letter. This, in light of the fact that very often the letter Nun (נ)
"falls" off of Hebrew words,
as a
result, the combining of the letters Nun
(נ) and Samech
(ס) we get the wonderful word Ness (נס) -
miracle, and then the Nun (נ)
can carry out its imposed task.
The Pentateuch does not
directly name Satan. We find it only in the Holy Writings. Still, it is interesting to see how the Torah describes the High Priest
who brings the sin offering on the Day of Atonement: And Aaron shall
cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for
Azazel. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord's
lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which
the lot fell to be for Azazel, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to
make an atonement with him, and to let him go to Azazel into the wilderness. (Leviticus 16:8-10)
In order to strengthen azez (עזז) him,
the Creator El (אל), Heaven forbid, that his strength az (עז),
shall not weaken azel (אזל), within His people. Here are revealed two forces: Azzaz עזז
+ El אל
(the Creator who strengthens him) and Azazel,
the name of the angel that weakens the strong One's (the Creator) strength
within
The number 120 is the
factorial of 5. That is 5! = 1*2*3*4*5 = 120. This number is also equal to the number of possible permutations of the
letters in the word elokim (אלהים).
The
word elokim represents the Creator's
aspect of might. It is clear that
aside from support from elohim, there
are also 120 punitive methods.
The Creator at times reveals His aspect of might (elohim), and at time He reveals His side of grace (Jehovah ו-ה-ו-ה).
The Creator's aspect of grace
(י-ה-ו-ה) formed the Tabernacle in order for the High
Priest could make atonement for the sins of the Israelites. Beside the cloth that covered the Tabernacle, there
were an additional three types of covers. The first layer was of
goatskins; the second layer was of red ram
skins and a third layer was of skins of animal named tahash תחש.
In truth, the number 120 is the area covered by
eleventh covers of goatskins of the Tabernacles:
4*30
(ells) = 120.
Above the goatskins was a covering of red ram skins.
Above this was an additional covering of tahash' skins. The red ram skins symbolize blood, as it is written, the
soul is in the blood
(Leviticus 17:11). The name tahash
תחש hides the
serpent nahash נחש, because the letter of Truth,
the Tav (ת) slallows the letter Nun (נ). Here, the letter Tav (ת) does not appear as a prefix
alone for the word. Here, the process appears as the tahash swallows the Serpent.
Therefore, the Serpent, Nahash נחש, scenting the tahash (תחש) hides,
flees away from the tahash- hides, which
had already swallowed the first letter, the
Nun. The Serpent, Nahash - נחש, felt hash - חש that it
would swallow all of it (Nun + Chash -- נ + חש). As it is stated in
(Ezekiel 16: 10): I clothed thee also with richly woven work, and shod thee
with tahash (not sealskin! וָאֶנְעֲלֵךְ
תָּחַשׁ),
and I wound fine linen about thy head, and covered thee with silk: We too need tahash skin shoes in order to drive the Serpent away! And the seal does not eat the serpents!
Satan destroys the friendship ידידות between people by dividing
them into separate individual נא יחידה.
The letter of life - Het
(ח) - has this Gematria:
4*2 = 8
(two Dalet's ד), where the letter Dalet (ד) is a symbol of blood דם as well as the symbol of man and woman. The hatred between
people, blood for blood - the
principle that causes murder and war in our world. Once, the Satan dressed in Serpentskins and convinced Eve to taste of
the Tree of Knowledge, of Good and of Evil. Then the holy love,
fraternity and friendship, split into 600,000 units as is known to us by the
holy books.
Satan as the Serpent, who
broke the one Soul into 600,000 pieces, units
נא יחידה; flees from a animal called Echidna, a monster, half woman, half serpent, the daughter of
Phorcys and Céto, the granddaughter of Earth (Gaea and the Sea (Pontus).
This is, apparently, the Australian insectivorous
mammal which
we see in the picture.
Or a it is Tasmanian relative
of his.
It is different from the
former by its larger size and thicker fur with finer but shorter spines.
The Tachash animal is the Echidna!
Similar to the duckbilled
Platypus,
the Echidna broods upon its
eggs.
At the same time it is part
of the class of mammalia.
Its single egg is stored in
its body pouch.
The pouch appears at
gestation time.
The Echidna is immune to
snake bite and protects himself from bigger animals with his spines.
In the past the Echidna lived in all the hot climates
(including
As for now, the Echidna's only natural habitat is in
Both the echidna
and the Platypus do not fit into
the Theory of Evolution.
Later on, came the true mammals, including the regular hedgehog and the
mongoose. Both of these already present
a higher level of development, different genes.
However, these two animals
did not develop as a result of evolutionary mutations. This agrees with the Kabbalistic approach.
The Indian Mongoose is considered
the most vigorous and speedy of the Viverridae Family. This is the famous snake killer in Rudyard Kipling's story of the
mongoose Riki Tiki Tavi. Mongooses are not sensitive to snake venom, they are
strong and quick to such an extent that they can match a King Cobra.

Let us return to our story. Actually, the rest of the story appears like an
article about reincarnation.
On April 26,
John was an independent
yeoman's son, a simple farmer named Richard Shakespeare who leased his land
from Gentleman Robert Arden.
This
tract of land was located not far from the town of
John was elected to be chief
Alderman (mayor) for a period of four years. He customarily paid a large fine
rather than attend the Anglican Church for regular prayers. He sent his son to study at the local school, which
was considered to be on a good level. The subjects studied in school were languages, literature, ancient
mythology and history. Shakespeare's
studies had a significant influence upon his future works.
Upon completing his studies, William at 18 (1582) married and in a short
time became the father of three daughters: Susannah
[שושנה] in 1583
and twins: Hamnet (Sunflower) and Judith in 1585. What were the
Shakespeare family's sources of income? We cannot definitely know this but there were indications that
Shakespeare tutored and tried his hand at stage-managing. To this end, he wrote anew plays composed in Latin that he had learnt in
his school.
In 1587, he left his family
and for a long time disappeared from the sight of historians. It seems that during that period he joined with a
wandering band of actors. It appears that
during that time Shakespeare began to develop his special style and received
his first encouragements. The year
Shakespeare came to

Let us discuss Shakespeare's
comedy, "Love's Labor"s Lost".
The
plot goes like this: The king and his three lords take a vow upon
themselves for three years to study wisdom and science, to restrict their
sleep, food and drink and to distance themselves from women. Of course, they do not succeed in any of this.
However, from the names of
the characters in the play we can find hints to events that happened at the
time in
The playwright's thoughts are expressed through
Biron's mouth (he is one of the lords).
The king's joker has the name
Costard - a type of round apple.
The
fantastic Spaniard's servant name is Moth. Both of them are great jesters. The fantastic Spaniard is similar to Don Quixote, while his servant,
Moth, reminds us of Sancho Panza (and like a moth floating in the air, they
also threw Sancho into the air as a punishment).
The true Birons, the historic ones, had a slogan,
"Trust Biron" ("Grede Biron" in French). The Byrons in
Now, let us find the Costard the Jester's line in the play
(Act V, Scene 1). In this line there
are 27 letters, in them is a hint about the fantastic Spaniard's height. 27 =
3*3*3 -- this the perfect balance as
well as the number of letters in the Hebrew Alphabet (22 letters and 5 final
ones). In Costard's line, which
appears at first to be completely meaningless, a secret is hidden. All the letters of the "word" (a string of 27 letters)
there are parallel Hebrew letters and one can decode the "word" if we write it
in Hebrew. Let us reveal the
secret in the "word". First of all, we
will build a table. Because we lack
space, we will divide the table into two parts.
Below is a table that
represents the 27 letters of the "word" from Costard's line (Act V, Scene 1). In the table's first row is the ordinal number of
each letter. In the second row, the English letter. In the third row, the
parallel Hebrew letters. In the fourth row, the numerical values of the Hebrew
letter and the Gematria of the "word"
(a sum of the numerical value of all the letters). In the fifth row, the
numerical value of the separated letters. In the sixth row, the separated letters themselves.

The Gematria of the "word" is: (10+30+10+2+1+100+10+80+10+200+6+50+6+5 ) + (60+6+2+10+9+1+9+10+50+10+4+6+9) = 706

Jehovah י
ו (י-ה-ו-ה) is 613 (commandments)
The letter Yod
(י) is the symbol for wisdom,
which the Holy One granted to all created by "His
hand" yado (ידו).
The Gematria of yado (ידו) is 20, this Gematria
of the letter Caf (כ)
which is in apposition to the commandment;
Therefore choose
life (ובחרת
בחיים).
The Gematria
of the letter Vav (ו)
is 6, where its Hebrew shesh (שש) is composed of the two fiery letters attached
together. Shesh (שש) is he and she who create the
new generation. Therefore,
the letter Vav (ו) represents the quantification
of life. In God's name, there are
two letters, Yod and Vav (י"ו). These two letters each head a syllable, Jeho-Vah
(י-ה-ו-ה) of God"s explicit name Jehovah (the
Tetragrammaton י-ה-ו-ה). The explicit name symbolizes the creation of man's wise life (ו-ה) through
His wisdom and insight.
Take a look, a miracle - ness has occurred again. But now with
the letter Vav (ו):
Transposing to English, the
letter Vav (ו)
doubles itself into two letters - "O" and "U". Among the 27
English letters inside the "word", there are only 14 different letters. A, C, D, F, I, L, N, O, P, R, S, T, U, V. The conclusion is that in Hebrew we do not have 14 letters but only 13.
Concerning David's fate, the
miracle - ness, was nearly ruined because
the Nun (נ)
fell out, thereby leading to the sinister side of the Samech (ס) to be revealed. Here we have the opposite situation, a wonderful
miracle - nes happened when the Vav (ן) fell out. The number 13
is the Gematria for the words ahavah (אהבה) and ehad (אחד) [see
above]. Shakespeare was a person who glorified the oneness of Love.
Let us imagine that we are
entering a casino and approach a unique Roulette table. On the winning row are laid out all the 27 letters of the Hebrew
alphabet (22 base letters and 5 final letters) - these are set instead of the
27 letters of the coded "word".
The
author is gambling on the number 13 from 27 of these letters in this special dispersion. The author also coded into the "word" through these
chosen 13 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet his belief that one day all the
peoples of the world will love each other in accordance with the commandment, love your neighbor as yourself.
The odds for winning a
dispersion of the 27 letters of the alphabet in the 13 places is very low and
is equal to 1*10-17. That is to say - to the right of the decimal
point there will be 16 zeros before coming to the number 1. But we do want to win the above array (see the third
line in the first part of the above table that was divided in two.
We bet twice on the letter Aleph (א)
~ 1; twice on the letter Bet (ב)
~ 2; once on the letter Dalet (ד)
~ 4; once on the letter Heh (ה)
~ 5; four times on the letter Vav (ו)
~ 6; three times on the letter Tet (ט)
~ 9; seven (!) on the letter Yod (י)
~ 10; once on the letter Samech (ס)
~ 60; once on the letter Peh (פ)
or final Peh (ף)
~ 80; once on the letter Kuf (ק)
~ 100; and once on the letter Resh (ר)
~ 200. This adds an additional 10 zeros after the decimal
point.
In this case, the odd of
winning goes down to 27⁻10! A draw of the letters with a bet on "Only One Love" - Ahavah Ahat veYehidah. It appears that the odds for winning are quite slim.
But we should bear in mind that Plank's constant is about the same magnitude,
6.6*10-27 (erg/sec).
In
our universe, the Plank constant is a quantum of energy. The whole universe is
built upon it. Therefore, to be
very clear, the gamble on a single unifying love is not as futile as we at
first thought. The Creator expects such a love from us!
Because of such a minuscule
chance in our case, it is possible to assume that this is the only method to
decode the "word". A result of this,
Shakespeare chose the 13 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which have parallel
letters in English. Therefore, in the coded "word" there are 27 letters, not 22
(so that in the draw the final letters of Nun
and Peh can also participate).
Another amazing thing is the
arrangement of the letters connected with numbers 1, 17, 27. They also appear in our forefather Abraham's history.
From
the time that Abraham reached the age of 58 and entered the first stage of
mystical knowledge until he received (at 75) the approval to enter the
Another 14 years passed (at
99), and he opened the 50 Gate of Wisdom, and Abraham entered the Palace of the
King of kings and Abraham was granted a kiss on his forehead and the addition
of a Heh (ה)
to his name in order that he could bear his son because the key to the 50 Gates
of Wisdom is to be found in the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet - the
letter Nun (נ)
with the numerical value of 50. I wrote an article
on this topic "The Abraham's two births".
Do you like this?
In the play, there are many
poems, including 27 sonnets (including those with a small style change). In consideration of these small deviations, one can say
that the number of letters in the coded "word" and the number of sonnets in the
play is the same number (27)
3*3*3 = 27 - this number has
a triple stability!
These are Biron's words which
he uses to describe his love for divine Rosalia
(the letters Resh Zayin [רז]
secret):
My eyes are then no eyes, nor I Biron: |
Fie, painted rhetoric! O, she needs it not: |
Is ebony like her? O wood divine!
A wife of such wood were felicity.
O, who can give an oath? where is a book?
That I may swear beauty doth beauty lack,
If that she learn not of her eye to look:
No face is fair that is not full so black?
The Creator created, in
accordance with his plan, 27 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Afterwards He created his people,
Shakespeare's next play is
"The Merchant of Venice". The play contains
hints to the famous trial of the court physician, Rodrigo Lopez, who was
accused of attempting to poison Queen Elizabeth and was executed in 1594. This play is listed as one of Shakespeare?s comedies. Does it contain a secret? In this comedy, the playwright praises love and fellowship and denounces
evil. Opposite Antonio, the
unfortunate merchantman is Shylock, a rich Jew who lends with interest. Shy is translated both as bashful and in slang -
attempt. Lock is also to bolt.
Fate
brings Antonio to losses and has nobody from whom he could borrow money in
order to pay his debt to the Jew.
This Jew is wise and
thoughtful, who continues to love his dead wife. He has a concept of honor in
general and understanding of Jewish self-respect in particular. The entire conflict comes about because of the
persecution of the Jews, degradations and indignities that they are forced to
suffer because of the permanent inequality. When Shylock gives money to Antonio, he receives from him a document
according to which (should he not be able to repay the money) he is to give the
usurer a portion of his flesh.
The beautiful Portia, his
friend's mistress, dresses up in the clothing of a lawyer in order to defend
Antonio in court. Of course, she
wins the case through the claim that the flesh is to be sold without a drop of
blood (which the Christians did not at all keep) and of course, one cannot
spill Christian blood. But Shylock also
did not intend to eat Antonio's flesh but only wished to revenge himself upon
the fervent anti-Semite. From here, one
thing is quite clear; the Christians cannot understand why the Jews do not eat
such a delicacy as blood. For instance, if
it was added to Matzah
it
would then be quite tasty! This is also the
external reason for the Christian blood libels against the Jews. Is this what Shakespeare is hinting at in his play?
At the end of the play, the
beautiful Portia speaks about three ships (the Trinity) that came to replace
the Four (the Tetragrammaton - Jehovah - י-ה-ו-ה) because the first one of them sank. The struggle between Christianity and Judaism ends in
a 'Christian victory'. That is He (י-ה-ו-ה) was alive
(הוה) and here
the first letter (Yod - י) of the Name, symbolizing the future, has fallen away. It was but is now
gone.
The subject of illegally
seizing authority takes up a large portion of Shakespeare's works.

Now let us go on to
Shakespeare's next play, "Romeo and Juliet". The same subjects - love, fellowship and evil. The play starts and ends with a sonnet. The last sonnet is composed of words by Juliet's father (four lines),
words by Romeo's father (4 lines) and the Doge's (a noble of old

Now let us open the
collection of Shakespeare's wonderful sonnets. Here too we find the same subjects: A wonderful companion, the
dark beauty (whom we read about in "Love's Labor's Lost") and the jubilant Evil
(sonnet 66).
Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.
There are a total of 154
sonnets. The number 154 cn be factored
in the following manner:
154 = 1*2*7*11
In the above factoring, I
find a hint to Joseph's and Pharaoh's dreams, a hint concerning the Egyptian
exile of Israel. I will specfy: One dream by Joseph: 1 - that is Joseph before
whom are bowing down 11 stars (his brothers). The second - Pharaoh's two dreams that contain the number 7. The seven cows who are sleek and fat and then the 7 cows who are gaunt and thin. And in the second dream, the 7 plump and full ears and then the 7 seven thin ears.

Let us open Shakespeare's
next last play "Winter's Tale". This tale has a good ending. Here too we can find the topics of exile
and return. The play contains
12 sonnets. 12 = 1*12. As you remember, before his people went a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way;
and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light. 1 is the Pilllar. And 12 -
the number of the tribes of
Moses got up the Hatred and
received from Him the Torah. - The Book helps us to change our want to receive
to our want to give, being responsible for one another.
Let us open the collection of
poems, "The Passionate Pilgrim".
Of
the 15 poems in the collection, there are 5 new sonnets. The number 5 = 1*5, where 1 is intended to G-d, and 5 are the five Books
of the Torah, the Pentateuch.
Let us now count the total
number of Sonnets that Shakespeare wrote (including those that are not written
entirely in the format of a sonnet).
5+12+154+12+27 = 210.
But King David wrote 150 Psalms.
Above,
we discussed this number, which came about by the difference in these numbers. The difference, which symbolizes the support on the
one hand by the Creator and His on the other hand. Shakespeare fulfilled all that was placed upon him: 1*2*3*5*7 = 210! Here, Shakespeare shows us the Creator's intentions and the history of
the Creation: In the beginning
God created the Hebrew letters (27). Afterwards, his people

Lastly, we shall open his
last play, "The Tempest". Here too, the plot
is in the spirit of a tale: On a certain island lives a banished magician
named Prospero with his daughter Miranda. Prosperus' title was taken from him and then banished from
His chief enemy, the king of
I consider that Shakespeare
means the character of Prospero that he is the God of Israel exiled from
Shakespeare
was 37 years old when wrote his poem "The Phoenix and Turtle" with threnos. His
hope has failed, that his creations can expel evil of
the world. Since then he began to think of end of his way.

simultaneously.
It is not important the poet by a nickname the
It is important, that his song entered into the plan
of the Creator!
The word turtle is a name a bird (tor - תור in Hebrew), comes from the Hebrew word
"to look out" (latur לתור).
Here, for us, we suggest to observe, to look at the
truth.
Who is this Turtle that leaved together with him in
eternity?
I believe it leaved a secret of his origin, and a
secret of the "twenty seven letters"' word.
But the
Why is it that we know so little about the author? There are many opinions about this. One of them is
that Shakespeare himself did not write his brilliant creations but somebody
else did. Perhaps this where it was Shakespeare's intention to
hide his Jewish roots.
Did Shakespeare sign documents, not with his name but
with a small cross?
If that is so, then surely here he has hidden his intention to disseminate his universal sermon
to the four corners of the world, to all the
inhabitants on the globe.

The Shakespeare surname also
has a secret. Listen to this
story:
There was once a Jew
by the name Napach נפח
, Smith in English, who fled from Spain
to England. An angel appeared to Napach and said to him, "Change your religion to Christianity for you will
bear a descendent who shall raise my Glory amongst all the nations of the
world". This Napach
was knowledgeable in the occult.
It should be clarified that in Hebrew, the letter Peh
(פ) means mouth (the speech organ) of the future
Shakespeare. The letters Nun (נ) and Het (ח) that stand at the ends of the
name Napach (נפח),
should we change their order we get the abridgement kitsurim
(ח"נ), which are the initials of Chochma Nistereth
(חכמה נסתרת), the Kabbalah. So the speech of the future
Shakespeare will be the speech of the Kabbalah. And Kabbalah tells about Love
and Friendship.
So what surname did Napach take for himself? He divided
his [Hebrew] surname into two parts: Nap + Het (נפ + ח). The letter het (ח) + the word nofefeth (נופפת) and we get, "the spear hanith חנית that is shaking נופפת". In English, from
the spear that is shaking, we get, in short, Shake-Spear. He shook his spear and aim it at the world's evil.
The German poet, Goethe, was also a great-grandson of
napach. Goethe was born 185 years
after Shakespeare's death. He knew Hebrew. By Goethe's own words, his grandfather already knew that his grandson
would rise to greatness.

The name William can be
written in the Holy Tongue in the following manner: וִלְעַם, that
is - בלְע
עַם. You probably
well-remember Balaam from the Bible, who had prophetic abilities. He intended
to curse the people of
William Shakespeare's full
name can be written thus: Sheketz (שקץ - pronounced sheigetz
in Yiddish - a young non-Jew). We can exchange the Zadi (צ) for the Samech
(ס) according to the well-known principle used by the
sages. This we add Pur (פור) and so get: Young
non-Jew! Call off the Pur, the lot, and bless my People just as Balaam
did! Should you see a picture of
Shakespeare you can easily discern the face of an enthusiastic Jew.
11
King David aged in a short time and only lived 70 years. The number 70 ~ Ayin (ע) appears many times in the
Torah. This eye represents the Creator's happiness because of the creation of
Mankind. The
number is 70 = 7*10. The number 7, = 6 + 1, refers to the 7 lower tahtonim
(ז"ת = 7) as it is in apposition to the second syllable
of the Tetragrammaton - ו-ה: The Lesser
Countenance ז״א contains six parts + Majesty מלכות - one. (See the picture given above). The factor 10 shows that there are the inner properties
on each step.
But the three numbers 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 stand in apposition to the second syllable (י-ה)
of the Tetragrammaton Jehovah (י-ה-ו-ה) where the 0 is the Crown, 1 is Wisdom and 2 is
Insight (this triplet is called the gar
- ג"ר - the First Three). 3 + 7 = 10 (see the explanation given above).
Shakespeare lived even less
than King David only 52 Years. 52
= 1*2*2*13. The number 1 is the Creator. 2*2 = 4. These are the four
corners of the Earth. This is a call to mankind from all over the world to
aspire to love because the number 13 symbolizes Love and Unity.
12
Next year we shall celebrate
440 years of William Shakespeare's birthday - 8 Jubilees (a Jubilee = 50 years)
and an additional 40 years.
The number 50 is a holy number for the Jewish people and represents the
50 (נ) gates of
Insight. 50 = 1*5 (ה) * 10 (י). The 1 is
the Wisdom of the higher souls who receive the Light from the Source. The numerals 0 and 5 - theses represent to Torah. 10 -
represents Wisdom.
The number 40 is = 1*4 (ד)
* 10 (י). The letter Mem (מ)
is the symbol of the integration between water that give life and blood Dam
(דם). The reason for this is
that the letters Dalet (ד), Mem (מ) and Tav (ת) - all three of which belong to
the fourth column of the letter table (refer to the first table in this
article). The final Mem (ם) is constructed (and possible
to write it that way) by two Dalet's
(ד) - the
first regularly and the second one upside down creating an enclosed space
(similar to a womb) in which the foetus is located. Thus teaches the Kabbalah.
We hope that in 2004 will
return honor to our people to which we have awaited for such a long time. In another 10 years, in the year 2014, there will be 9
Jubilees. The numeral 9 symbolizes the Good (טוב) - that we
will be good - as well as draft (טיוטה) of our
lives and the Star of David with its 6 points (3+3) since the logarithm of the
numeral 3 is the number itself. Log3 + Log3 ~ 3 + 3 ~ ג + ג.
Let us now write down anew
the history of world.

Any thing has 2 sides. Even the word wonder Pele
(פלא) has the
other side - Aleph (אלף). Aleph - this is the
name of the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. For He (the Holy One)
works wonders.
Even the knowledge of the Kabbalah
(ח"ן) has an opposite side. If we change
the abridgement (ח"ן) backwards
we get the word Noah (נח) - from
the Hebrew for rest. This is
also the name of the righteous Noah (נֹחַ). As Lemech his father said: This same shall comfort us concerning our work.
Nations of the world! I bring you today the olive leaf from the righteous Noah for my name is Haim (life) and my family name is Goluv,
which means dove (יונה). As it is written
(Isaiah 56:7-8): for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
The
Lord God who gathers the outcasts of
Nations of the
world! Do not hinder the
ingathering of the exiles of the people of Israel into the Land of Israel. Do not interfere but help! Then peace and quiet shall come upon the world.
And let us say, Amen.

Epilogue
Woe to those souls who do not
know how to cry but such were the souls of King David and Shakespeare.
The word Philistines comes
from the Hebrew liflosh - to invade. Also, there
is a type of sword called palash (פָּלַשׁ). As it is written,
(Amos 9:7): Did I not bring
What is the meaning of the word Caphtor
כפתור? Caphtor is constructed from two words which have many
meanings: Caphah (כפה) and tor (תור). The word kaphah
(כפה) comes
from the Hebrew kefiyah (כפיה), to force. The word tor (תור) comes
from the Hebrew to mean row, order as well as time. We are not speaking of the button on an article of
clothing, but force and wars.
Let us throw away the flags
that keep us apart. Here is the flag
for all the nations of the world:
The borders of this flag (the
blue frame) are constructed from 10 enclosed segments of straight lines where 4
of them are vertical and 6 are horizontal. 4 + 6 = 10 (י)
symbolizes the Creator's right hand and is a symbol of
The 9 stars construct the
form of the
The numeral 9 = 3*3. If we
combine the 3 with another 3 = 3 + 3 = 6. Then we have the number of points on
the 2 traingles that form the Star of David.
The 18 asterisks construct The
Temple: 7 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 18 = 2*9.
The 18 asterisks construct
the floating Star of David: 1 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18 = 2*9.
The all asterisks construct
the total of five Stars of David.
But the numeral 5 is a
symbol of His Torah.
There are the total asterisks:
5*9 = 45, the Gematria of the word Adam (אדם). A man has to be
like (אדמה) his Creator in his characteristics of love and
giving so that it should be good for all peoples!

Summer 2003***
Addenda from other years:
1.
To strengthen the assertion that the year 2004
is important: The great Cabbalist of our time, Rabbi Judah
Aslag, was born exactly 120 years before 2004 if we examine tha fact that he
was born on October 6, 1884. This date according to the Jewish calendar belongs
to Tishrei of the following year (תרמ״ה). The word samach,
from the Hebrew to support, has a Gematria
of 120. Your humble servant reached the age of 60 during 2004. Now, 60 is the
numerical value of samech (ס). Since the word semech
(סֶמֶך) means to support, its meaning is support for
man's resolve to connect with his Creator. The other side of the word is satan (סטן), the prosecutor and hater. So, there will be
those who grab onto the side of support - the side of the Creator. And there
are those who will stand to the side of darkness, at the side of the hater.
2.
I was born on the 22nd (כ"ב) of Cheshvan
(חשון), 08. 11.1944. The Gematria
of the word Cheshvan (חשון) is 364. If we add all its component numerals we get the number
13! The minor Gematria of Cheshvan (חשון) is as follows: Het (ח) gives 8 + Shin (ש) gives 3 + Vav (ו) gives 6 + the Nun (נ) gives 5. The minor Gematria
of Cheshvan (חשון) is the number 22. We then get the word for love (Ahavah אהבה) and the 22 Hebrew letters! I was born in this atmosphere.
3.
Behind the name Haim
(חיים )
there is also a secret hiding. The Gematria of Haim (חיים) is 68 (ח
~ 8 + י
~ 10 + י
~ 10 + מ
~ 40 = 68). It is written is Isaiah (40:26): Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things (מִי-בָרָא
אֵלֶּה); who brings out their host by number, he calls them all by names by
the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is
missing: The question to be asked is: Who created (מי ברא) these (אלה) five loves? The Gematria
of the word ahavah (אהבה) is 13. We add 3 to the number 65, (the number of letters in the word eileh (אלה) 65 + 3 = 68. So the results, according to
the rules laid down by our sages, the name Haim (חיים) testifies
to a strong love, five times as much! And if we use the language of
the Kabbalah, we can word it in the following manner: All
of his five sphirot ספירות are full of love.
4.
The name Haim, hides another secret: The Gematria of Haim (חיים)
is 68, the same Gematria as the word "the
Prophet" hanavi (הנביא) - 68 = ה-5
+ נ-50 + ב-2 + א-1. I am asking you to believe my
words, that the Prophet Elijah, commanded me to write down the words of this sermon.
We are going from Darkness to
the Light!
With a love multiplied by five
