Friend,    With Purim right around the corner, Sefaria is busy preparing for the “Purim bump” — the increase in users who visit Sefaria to celebrate the holiday. Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the library or used the app to connect with the holiday or read along with Megillat Esther. This year we’re expecting even more.    To help with our text and tech preparations ahead of this busy time, a generous Jewish foundation is matching all gifts to the library up to $36,000.    Please give today to help us meet your learning needs!     
Ab, or ayin-bet, is the numerical value of 72 in Hebrew letters (ayin=70; bet=2). This numerical value is derived from the letters of the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter name of God referred to as the name of Havaya, when they are spelled in full using the letter yod. In other words, each of the letters of the name of Havaya is written out as a separate word, and the letter yod is used in order to fill out the letters: The yod is spelled out as yod-vav-dalet (יוד), the heh is spelled heh-yod (הי), the vav is spelled vav-yod-vav (ויו), and the final heh is spelled heh-yod (הי).. Ab represents the level of Ḥokhma or the light of wisdom. In the world of Adam Kadmon, Ab is the name of the partzuf that embodies the level of Ḥokhma (which corresponds to the partzuf called Abba in the other four worlds). The name of Ab derived from filling out the letters of the name of Havaya is not to be confused with the seventy-twoletter ineffable name of God.
