PARSHA MNEMONICS

Mnemonics have always been used in Judaism as a tool to remember numbers and laws. The proof is found in the Haggadah for Passover when Rabbi Yehuda gave a mnemonic to remember the order of the ten plagues. The mnemonic or mnemonics at the end of the Parsha are: generally, a name found in the books of the Prophets or writings, or a word in the Parsha.

The objective of these mnemonics is not only to remember the number of pesukim in the parsha – but it is also to highlight a theme, an idea, or to answer a question on a particular parsha.

This volume covers books Bamidbar and Devarim.
