Friend,    With Purim right around the corner, Sefaria is busy preparing for the “Purim bump” — the increase in users who visit Sefaria to celebrate the holiday. Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the library or used the app to connect with the holiday or read along with Megillat Esther. This year we’re expecting even more.    To help with our text and tech preparations ahead of this busy time, a generous Jewish foundation is matching all gifts to the library up to $36,000.    Please give today to help us meet your learning needs!

מֻנַּח לְגַרְמֵהּ—Munah L’garmeih

When you first look at it, this note just looks like another munah! But actually, munah legarmeih is a munah followed by a dividing line after the word. Legarmeih means “by itself” because this note makes the munah its own sound, a bit separate from what comes after. This only happens a handful of times in each parashah. And it really changes the tune! Most people sing this as a quivering note that sounds very unique. You can find them scattered throughout the Torah, but our parashah has quite few. Usually, a munah legarmeih is followed by another munah and then a revi’i, like this:
אֵ֣ת ׀ שְׁתֵּ֣י הָעֲגָל֗וֹת
The two carts
But sometimes it is just followed directly by a revi’i, like in this phrase, which comes up 12(!) times in our parashah:
שְׁנֵיהֶ֣ם ׀ מְלֵאִ֗ים
both filled

Try to listen for this special note getting repeated over and over!
