Dear Ones,

From time to time we receive requests from readers interested in our Gematria studies.  Recently I received a request from a reader regarding Gematria 5555.  Over the years I have studied many Gematrias but I do not recall studying Gematria of 5555 until today.

Normally I do not respond to Gematria requests.  However in this situation I did because the writer indicated it was my Gematria.  I do not believe that to be accurate.  It would have been helpful to have include the html URL so I could have reviewed it.

I keep notes on my Gematrias.  Also I can do a site search on my Gematrias.  Both turned up nothing.

One should state the purpose of their Gematria research.  I may or may not find it interesting.  Stating the purpose will help me determine if I want to participate.

I have a Gematria Kit that is worth while owning.  More information may be obtained at:

Now regarding the Gematria 5555:

If one were to add all the letters of 2 Chronicles 3.3 the Gematria Ragil is 5555.  The Gematria Mispar Gadol is 10733.  The letters in red are Final Letters that make up the Mispar Gadol.

Blessings and peace,

Dear ones, years ago we established the Chessed Fund and Seforim Fund at B'nai Noach Torah Institute for classmates.

The Seforim Fund

The purpose for the Seforim Fund is to assist those desiring to learn at our Institute.  The Seforim Fund is used to purchase books, supplies, CD's, etc. for classmates who do not have the means to do so.  This also includes the shipping and handling.

The Chessed Fund

The Chessed Fund assists classmates who do not have the means to pay administration and record fees or tuition costs.

Both the Chessed Fund and Seforim Fund are supported by Teachers, Classmates and Students of B'nai Noach Torah Institute who want to lovingly reach out to those who cannot afford our courses.  We ask those who receive assistance from the Chessed Fund and Seforim Fund to give their time to good causes in their community.

We are mentioning the Seforim and Chessed Funds in our bog because of recent E-Mail from U. S. Military Service Personnel.  There are several purposes to listing this information.

If you are in the military and desire learning material, we at B'nai Noach Torah Institute would like to assist as we can.  Please contact us at:

 http://www.bnti.us/q.html

If you would like to assist service personnel, you can do so in one of several ways.

First, anyone reading this blog that has Seforim {Jewish Books / Noachide Books} in good condition that they would be willing to give purchase and send to military personnel please contact us at http://www.bnti.us/q.html 

Second, if you would like to contribute for this purpose, you may do so by going to http://www.bnti.us scroll to the bottom of the page and click on donate.  When you contribute there is a window entitled, Make Comments or Ask a Question.  In this box type in the words: Military Seforim Gift.  If you would like your gift to be available for anyone say, Seforim Gift for Anyone.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful participation.

Blessings and peace,
