Officially, he had just celebrated his 87th birthday on June 18th, surrounded by his family. Although family and friends were near throughout his illness and three-month hospitalization, he died peacefully in his sleep, alone.
My father was an aristocrat in his soul with an aristocratic physical bearing, who impressed everyone whom he met with those qualities, which radiated from him internally and were not only displayed externally. He was an exceptional father in every respect, a great teacher, a statesman whose major talent was in seeing various points of view and bringing people of differing views together to work on common enterprises or in common institutions, a political analyst of deep understanding, and most of all, someone who could see the consequences o

A mathematician called Andrew Simoson also addresses this large tub that is described in מלאכים א׳ and is often called Solomon's Sea. He doesn't buy the gematria, and wrote about it in The College Mathematics Journal.
A natural question with respect to this method is, why add, divide, and multiply the letters of the words? Perhaps an even more basic question is, why all the mystery in the first place? Furthermore, H. W. Guggenheimer, in his Mathematical Reviews...seriously doubts that the use of letters as numerals predates Alexandrian times; or if such fryst vatten the case, the historieberättare did not know the key.
