Atbash

And we'll put it on the chat so you can see.

And then we have Elohenu, Elohenu, Teno, Ata'a, Simanu, Kala, which goes Aleph, Taf, Bet, Shin, Gimel, Resh, Dalet, Kuf, and so on and so forth, what we call Atbash.

And what seems to be happening, these three P.U. teams are set both by Sephardim and Ashkenazim, They seem to be quite ancient.

We're not sure who the author is, but it seems to be maybe after the Beit HaMikdash, or definitely after the time of destruction.

And basically they need to decipher what's there.

Yeah, I use, uh, different ciphers like Caesar, Atbash, uh, substitution.

Substitution a little bit less.

Hmm.

Mostly it's, uh, uh, Caesar, Atbash.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, to put, uh, something to mix it up, uh, we have, uh, there a little bit, uh, word puzzle, one word puzzle-

Mm-hmm.

So it gives you over here on the side, it gives you a bunch of substitution cipher, which is what we're working on, but it's the A1Z26 cipher.

the ADF-GVX cipher, the ADF-GX cipher, right? So it has all these ATBASH and BACON and the BOFORT, all of these ciphers on the tab to look at, but we're not all concerned about those because we're in the substitution cipher that we want.

So, Here it tells you that a substitution cipher rearranges the alphabet so every ciphertext letter consistently stands for another letter or symbol that is true in this case.

This page is a complete guide to substitution ciphers plus a hands-on tool for translating and cracking them.

I want, s- I wanted to concentrate on this.

I really couldn't leave the letter ayin without really going into this, this very important deep teaching, that the Zohar teaches us that echad, that one that we say in the Shema, is the same permutation in Atbash in a different way of calculation of the Hebrew numerology.

So we have God is one, which is called, the Zohar calls Yehuda Ela, the higher unity.

Shema Yisrael, those six words, Shema, 25 letters.

So we have 25 letters, six words, the Shema, and we have Baruch shem k'vod malchuto l'olam va'ed.

Six words, 24 letters.

That's called lower unity, and va'ed, the letters vav, ayin, daled, is the same permutation as one but in a different way, in a way of Atbash, basically transferring the last letter with the first letter and the second letter, the second to last letter.

It's a numerical transference of basically what is high now becomes low, and what is low now becomes high.

But I came tonight...

Did I ever teach you Atbash? No.

I taught it? We learnt it already? Okay, fine.

[laughing] You never supposed to tell the Rabbi you learnt it.

We never heard it.

We don't wanna hear it until he can say it again, so I hear something I never heard before." [laughing] No, you guys, "Yeah, we know it, Rabbi.

We know it." [laughing] I'll give you the secret of Atbash.

In the Hebrew alphabet, which is only done in the Hebrew, I can't do this in the English alphabet, we're able to substitute letters.

It's simply a mistake in the Shulchan Aruch.

Says the Shulchan Aruch now, "Sif Gimmel, Siman l'kviyas ha'moadim," a Siman to, uh, uh, to, to know how the calendar falls out is, "At, Bash, Gar, Dak, Chat, Vav." So what does that mean? How does that help you? So perush, it means the following, "BeYom Rishon shel Pesach yihiyeh le'olam Tisha B'Av." The Alef, Taf means that the first day of Pesach is always gonna be Tisha B'Av, meaning the A- the At, Bash, Gar, Dak, Chat, Vav, y-you'll notice is Atbash, right? Meaning it goes, uh, Alef corresponds to Taf, the first letter of the Alef beis to the last letter.

Second letter to the second let- to last letter is Bash.

Gimel to, k- uh, uh, to, to Reish is the third to the third to last letter.
