Here are the rules;
Every day we find something that has the same number/amount of that day’s sefirah, e.g. tonight is the 8th day of the Omar so we can choose to write Chanukah (8 days) or anything alse with the number 8.
And unlike the ?????? ???? ???? you don’t have to know yiddish or have a Hebrew keyboard to play this game, so everyone can join the fun!!!!
So ready, set, GO!!!!!!!
days till millah
8 – days of Milah.
ummmm… cant think of anything else with 8
8: The time that I WISH I could be in bed by at night. Yeh, it’ll never happen..
bas yisroel, come on, girls schools get out so early from school you can easily be in bed by 8!! i can’t even be home b4 930
Have you forgotten – 8 days of Pesach in Chutz La’aretz?!
8 is a lucky number for the asian people……..Eight
No, we come out late! Oh wait, I guess compared to you or others, it’s kinda early.. But still, there’s homework that’s gotta be done by the next day, and.. um.. the coffeerooms no help in that 😛
Let me think for something better- 8: amount of times you wash negel vasser in the morning
It’s the number above Teva According to the mahara”l
It’s the time I have to get up tomorrow morning… gnite!
8 is the number that is lemalah min a hatevah!
I know this is slightly, sorta, very much off topic, and I apologise in advance, but speaking about sefira; why is the YWN radio still working?
Shmini Atzeres
The first letter in Chai
The number of slices you will have eaten if you 8 a whole pie
For those heimishe cooks out there who dont like following cook books but prefer to use their own measures: there are said to be 8 pinches to a teaspoon!
A great sefira fact about number 8: There are 8 white notes on a keyboard or piano in an octave!
why is the YWN radio still working?
Some people start Rosh Chodesh (I’m posting this when there are no responses up yet, and the latest reply is four hours ago, so I wouldn’t be surprised if by the time this is posted, it’s about the fifth similar response!).
BY94 – YWN Radio is still working presumably because there are several minhagim of aveilus during the omer. Some people do listen to music now.
The “eighth” note in music
That’s funny. I thought there were seven notes to an octave. Any musicians in the CR to verify? (majors or minors, flat ones or sharp ones)
the amount of hours i wish i got to sleep every night.
ZK-you r right. but the eighth note is a cd by yossi green
There are 7 notes in an octave. They go from A to G.
When we’re talking about a typical major or minor scale, the octave falls by the 8th note of the scale.
E.g., a C-major scale consists of:
C D E F G A B C(one octave above your starting C)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Now, if we’re doing a whole tone scale, there’s only 7. If a half tone scale, 13.
9 are the months till a baby is born…
(does that make sence??)
I 8 too much on Yom Tov!
8 letters in JUST HOLD
Gum, today is still 8… tonight will be… last night was 8!
Not sure the exact details-but there’s something mystical about the “eight note”- the music going straight up to shamayim….Yossi Green has an album called “the eight note”….
can we wait to post the next number after dark?
can we wait to post the next number after dark?
In some parts of the world, it is already tomorrow.
(Now, if the people in those parts of the world would be kind enough to let me know tonight’s Lotto numbers, I’d be greatly appreciative.
The Wolf
Avram in MD:
So, again, there are seven notes to an octave, correct?
ZK,
Just think of the tune do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do….I assume u r familiar with it)
The last “do” is the same as the first one…
Now read Avram in MD again
am yisrael chai:
I think I knew that. I have a brother who DOESN’T know 2-3 instruments! Some of his musical knowledge slightly rubbed off with time.
AHAV (aleph-hay-vet) is 8 in gematria-loving is a part of Hashem, l’mala min hateva (no Hebrew keyboard here, sorry!)
Chana v’shivat baneha…
Chafetz Chayim (2 eights roshei tevot)
It is already nine-nine months to carry a baby….
MotherinIsrael and Zeeskite: Sorry for making it ‘sound’ confusing, but Avram in MD and Am Yisrael Chai both explained it well.
There are in fact EIGHT notes in an octave. Otherwise it would be called a septave had there been only seven notes in it.
‘Oct’ is 8 as in octagon or octogenarian etc.
An octave is the interval between two notes where the higher note has twice the frequency of the lower note. On a piano keyboard, this corresponds to an interval of 8 white notes eg C D E F G A B C.
We do not say that a week has 8 days cos it starts and ends on a ??? or a Sunday, so to be logical the music scale seems to have only 7 notes. But when you come to play a musical scale, it sounds incomplete unless you play all 8 notes starting with the lower note and ending with the higher one, as AYC correctly pointed out from do-re-mi- ending again with –do.
Thanks for your replies Daas Yochid, erm_saywhat, deiyezooger
