About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Happy 666 Day! So, Do You Think 666 = WWW = JEWS?

Judith got 06-06-06 off to a jumping start today, and for those KTers who need some more jolly reading while anxiously repeating "Is he here yet? Is he here yet?" should look no further than this scholarly discussion of that burning question:

"Is "www" in Hebrew equal to 666?"

The discussion involves the gematria value of the Hebrew letter "vav." The argument, proofs, calculations, digressions, and intrepretations are far too complex -- and too much fun to read -- to be summarized. Just take a look. SPOILER ALERT: We're pretty much off the hook (hook, "vav," get it??). I'm so relieved.
