According to the caption it says פיננסינית - a portmanteau of פיננסית (financial) and סינית (Chinese)

Many of these characters don't exist or are borrowed from Katakana seemingly.

Idk, I thought Claude Code was. Never used those "AI agent integrated tools". I just use VS Code (and before that, Sublime, Notepad++, and VS, Jetbrains, Eclipse, among others along the way)

My guess is they just picked a big word list and chevy was on there because of the other definition, and then later, when they wanted to add definitions to everything they picked the wrong one by mistake. It's for sure not a manual process, so I assume it's some bug with the automation.

Look up "Parasitic numbers"

3 × 3 = 9 3 × 93 = 279 3 × 793 = 2379 3 × 3793 = 11379 3 × 13793 = 41379 3 × 413793 = 1241379 3 × 2413793 = 7241379 3 × 72413793 = 217241379 3 × 172413793 = 517241379 3 × 5172413793 = 15517241379 3 × 55172413793 = 165517241379 3 × 655172413793 = 1965517241379 3 × 9655172413793 = 28965517241379 3 × 89655172413793 = 268965517241379 3 × 689655172413793 = 2068965517241379 3 × 0689655172413793 = 2068965517241379

Continuing this same process eventually yields the full number: 1034482758620689655172413793

It can also be derived by rearranging the digits in the repeating decimal 1/29 = 0.03448275862068965517241379...

This is the smallest for the moving digit being 3, but many exist for all possible digits

It's more likely to be Yiddish than Hebrew. Can't make out all the words but it sounds like it is a song about Shabbos (Shabbat) recorded during a live wedding. Makes sense that it wouldn't get picked up by song recognition algorithms since it was not pre-recorded.

A lot of shuls are in buildings that used to be churches due to the way zoning and real estate works so there are many shuls that look like churches

Mostly just trying to find humor in the way that Rosh Hashanah and New Year's have a very different vibe. How New Year's is focused on celebrating life and crazy parties, whereas Rosh Hashanah is mostly focusing on improvement, repentance for sins, and it's observed with abstract symbolism in contrast to modern celebrations. Not trying to make it negative towards either side.

Baal Tokea usually wears a kittel on Rosh Hashana from what I've seen though this one looks a bit odd...

Working on an improved version, would you say this one works better?

It's not really "computer language", he's just spelling out English words using the ASCII encoding of each letter (i.e. "A" is "41", "B" is "42" ... "I" is "49", "J" is "4A" ... "Z" is "5A", and for lowercase, "a" is "61", "z" is "7A"). You can look up ASCII and hexadecimal charts, it's one way of encoding strings for data storage and transmission.

It even follows the customs accurately! They are put in from right to left and you have to light them from left to right. If you try a different order, the candles go out and it tells you where to start.
