THE TALKING NUMERICALLY-SIGNIFICANT-MINUTE CLOCK
Helps you use each minute toward spiritual ends.
The Talking Numerically-Significant-Minute Clock is a standard digital clock which, at the start of each minute, emits a beep, followed by a mechanically-altered male voice saying, “This minute has High/Medium/Low Numerical Significance. Make sure you use it properly.” It doesn’t announce the time itself because it is only trying to get you to realize that you have just been given another minute that you need to deal with properly.
The talking facility offers five choices:
1) beep, then announcing the Numerical Significance (NS) of all 1440 minutes.
2) beep, announcing only High or Medium NS (937 minutes = 65%).
3) beep, announcing only High NS (90 minutes = 6%).
4) beep only (in the preceding choices of frequency).
5) off.
To understand more, please read the following copy of the instruction sheet that is included with each Talking Numerically-Significant-Minute Clock:
THE TALKING NUMERICALLY-SIGNIFICANT-MINUTE CLOCK
The Complete And Important Explanation Sheet
We would like to suggest that, when Hashem created time (see quotes below), He created one thousand, four hundred and forty (1440) different minutes. He distributed His minutes evenly and consecutively throughout the day, giving each one an existence of sixty seconds, after which it is replaced by the next one in line.
Each minute is of extremely high significance to Hashem, and it retains its extremely high level of significance from the instant it begins until the instant it ends, with no variation of significance throughout its duration, therefore making minutes different from most things that Hashem created which wax and wane in strength and form during the duration of their existence.
Hashem created each minute for His honor and for His glory and He intends for us to use them in the same manner - in serving Him, in thinking of Him and in honoring and glorifying Him.
Minutes are very important things. However, since there are so many of them, and we are so familiar with them, and they come and go so quickly, so silently, so regularly and so often, day after day and year after year, we tend to take them for granted and subsequently to minimize their importance. (If we had one only every once in a while, we’d surely use each one more properly.) Since we grow to take them for granted, most if not nearly all minutes get lost in the confusion of our using them for something other than for what Hashem intended them. Even those that appear to us, or to others watching us, as if we are using them according to their divine purpose, nevertheless turn out really to be used, most of the time, for something else.
One solution that we have come up with to help correct this problem of our over-familiarity with Hashem’s minutes is to artificially assign what we call “Numerical Significance” (NS) to each minute. Recognizing each minute's Numerical Significance can help us to better recognize each minute as it occurs and thereby to use each one more purposefully.
For example, if you happen to look at a digital clock and see the time 12:34, we have called that time a “four straight.” It and 23:45 are, in fact, the only “four-straights” of the day, which give them high Numerical Significance. (01:23 doesn’t count because digital clocks usually don’t show the “0” as the first digit but rather show only 1:23, which classifies it as a “three-straight, up.” See below.)
So from now on, when you see the time 12:34, you can realize that you are seeing one of the only two “four-straights” of the day and can thank Hashem for letting you see such a rare, highly numerically-significant time. The Talking Numerically-Significant-Minute Clock helps you to that end, by sounding a beep and then saying, “This minute has High/Medium/Low Numerical Significance. Make sure you use it properly.” It helps you, therefore, to use each minute in a more purposeful way than you probably otherwise would have used it.
As you will be able to see, if you download the completed Table Of All 1440 Minutes (see bleow), which lists each minute and it’s corresponding level and type of Numerical Signifance, we have devised a variety of Numerical Significances for all of Hashem’s minutes. Some of them are as follows:
· A “three-straight, up” happens five times a day: 0:12, 1:23, 2:34, 3:45, 4:56. That numerical arrangement gives them high Numerical Significance (NS).
· A “three-straight, down” is the same as the “three-straight, up,” but backwards: 2:10, 3:21, 4:32, 5:43, 6:54 (high NS).
· A “disordered four-straight” happens 19 times a day: 10:23, 10:32, 12:03, 12:30, 12:43, 13:02, 13:20, 13:24, 13:42, 14:23, 14:32, 21:03, 21:30, 21:34, 21:43, 23:01, 23:10, 23:14, 23:41 (medium NS).
· A “disordered three-straight” happens 20 times a day: 0:21, 1:02, 1:20, 1:32, 2:01, 2:13, 2:31, 2:43, 3:12, 3:24, 3:42, 3:54, 4:23, 4:35, 4:53, 5:34, 5:46, 6:45, 6:57, 7:56, (medium NS).
· 13:57 is the only “every-other, four” (“up” only, it doesn’t have a “down” form) of the day, therefore making it the rarest minute of the day . (02:46 doesn’t count for the same reason 01:23 doesn’t count, as explained above.)
· A “disordered every-other four” lets us add 15:37, 17:35 and 17:53. (high NS)
· “Every-other, three, up”: 0:24, 1:35, 2:46, 3:57. (high NS)
· “Every-other, three, down”: 7:53, 6:42, 5:31, 4:20 (high NS).
· There are 13 “Disordered every-other three”’s: such as 1:53, 5:13, 2:40, etc..
· “Three away, up:” 0:36, 1:47, 2:58; and their “down” equivalents: 8:52, 7:41, 6:30 (high NS).
· “Four away, up”: 0:48, 1:59; or “down”: 9:51, 8:40 (high NS).
· “Four of a kind”: 11:11, 22:22 (high NS).
· “Two pairs”: 11:00, 11:22, 11:33, 11:44, 11:55, 22:00, 22:11, 22:33, 22:44, 22:55 (high NS).
· “Doubles”: 10:10, 12:12, 13:13, 14:14, 15:15, ..., 23:23 (high NS).
· “Three of a kind”: 1:11, 2:22, ..., 5:55 (high NS).
· “Three of a kind, plus”: 11:10, 11:12, 11:13, 13:33, 14:44, 22:20, 22:21, etc. (medium NS).
· “Three of a Kind, Split”: 11:21, 11:31, 12:11, 13:11, 20:22, 21:22, 22:32, 22:42, 23:22, etc. (low NS).
· “Two of a kind, Plus”: 3:22, 6:11, 11:49, 22:36, etc. (low NS).
· “Two of a Kind, Split”: 2:23, 3:53, 6:46, 15:58, 21:26, etc. (low NS).
· “Two Times-er” (the next number is two times the preceding one): 1:24, 2:48, 12:48. (high NS).
· There are mathematical equations, where the numbers on each side of the two dots combine to make a mathematical formula: (medium NS)
· 16:25: 1+6=2+5 9:45: 9=4+5 23:08: 23 (2 to the 3rd power) =0+8 23:06: 2x3=0+6 2:42: 2=4/2 14:28: 1x4=2v8 14:16: 1+4= -1+6 1:30: 1=30 (3 to the 0 power), etc., etc. There are many, many of these mathematical formulas (629 to be exact: almost half of the total number of minutes).
· Then there are the funny times like 0:00 when you can say, “I’m sorry but I have no time.” Or 0:01, “Got a minute?” Or 0:02, “I’ve just got a couple of minutes.” Or 23:59, “I’ve got all the time in the world.” 20:20 is perfect vision and 13:59 is a “hop, skip and a jump.” There’s 0:07 for James Bond, 7:11 for the food stores, 18:12 for the War and the Overture, 9:11 for the day of infamy and 7:47 for the airplane (high NS). (Many of the funny times are centered around midnight, for some reason.)
· “Backwards”: 10:01, 12:21, 13:31, 14:41, 15:51, 20:02, 21:12, 23:32 (high NS).
· “All even”: 0:28, 6:40, 8:06, etc. (low NS).
· “All odd”: 3:59, 5:17, 7:13, 8:31, etc. (low NS).
· There are others as can be seen from the tables.
· And “mixed odd and even” (low NS) will cover every minute not otherwise mentioned and therefore give every minute a Numerical Significance.
If you have a digital clock that also shows the seconds, you greatly increase the number and types of Numerical Significances.
But nevertheless, each minute, regardless of its particular level of Numerical Significance, is still of extremely high general significance to Hashem, as it also should be to us.
Every time you look at a digital clock and see a Numerical Significance, think of Hashem. When you see a rare time, that happens only a few times a day, thank Hashem for letting you look at the clock just then. If you develop a favorite numerically-significant time, like maybe 11:11 or 0:01 or some other time, you’ll be happy when you realize that Hashem is letting you see it. If you see 12:32, you can wait 2 minutes until you see 12:34 and get two minutes of thinking of Hashem that you probably wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. And if you see 23:58 you should definitely wait, because you can get four of the funny times in the next four minutes.
So now every time you look at a digital clock, you can not only find out the time but you can also think of Hashem and better serve Him, which is why you were sent into this world in the first place anyway.

· (Radak, Yeshayah [Isaah] 48:13) Don’t say that I [Hashem] was only from the beginning of Time because I was also before Time, because my hands established the earth and my right hand nurtured the Heavens and Time was created with their creating.
· (Ramban, parshas Bereishis 1:5, s.v. vayikra) [The Torah] is saying that time was created, and [Hashem] made the measure of the day and the measure of the night.
· (Masok Mi’divash on the Zohar, parshas Va’era, 25a) When a person completes his body through keeping the mitzvos of the Torah, then there is no day that is not blessed from him through the strength of the good actions that he performed. And when the days of the year are blessed through the power of the person, then life and healing are poised on the person from Above. What causes their flowing onto him from Above? It is the days of the year, because since they are blessed from the strength of the good actions of the person, they have within them the power to pull down life and healing from Above.
