[Abes_Kids] AHYH AShR AHYH

[fabrizio.lanza at monfalcone.org]

 You are doing a typical abulafian exercise. You take the ladder, call it
from top to bottom and then reverse it from bottom to top. Until you stay
in the middle, you are correct. Now you just miss walking through the
pegs of the ladder. So, you could shift from peg (word) to peg by the
Gematria of the words. And then we all will bow before you, :LOL.

 Best,
 Fabrizio
