Well, the Torah portion this past week went into great detail about the Urim and Tumim. If that's what put them over the top on Saturday night, maybe Mike James should put that in his model, too.

I don't have the thyme to break it down for you, so here's a lengthy explanation:

Thanks, that sure clears things up.
Here's the condensed version, OB:
Orim ve Tomim (Urim ve Tumim), featured on the Yale shield along with the Latin “Lux et Veritas,†is the ancient Hebrew of Yale’s motto, translated as “Light and Truth.â€
The Jewish “prayer cycle†allocates each week a portion of the Torah (Pentateuch—1st 5 Books of the Bible) for focused prayer and study/discussion. Each “portion†has a theme. This past week’s apparently focused on “Light and Truth/Urim ve Tumim.â€
So, penn nation (may have) implied there was a divine reason for Yale’s (spicy) sweep this past weekend...I think...
P.S. Here's the specific reference to Yale in PN's link: Link

OK. So next time I'm in Philly, do I get a spot in the minyan (plus a tofu-cheesesteak)?
P.S. I'm looking for symbols of red & blue in next week's parasha.

You're out of luck for this coming week, but there's mention the week after (as well as 2 weeks ago, when I actually chanted a portion of the Torah reading that talked about this):

You'll need to find some adom to mix with that kakhol when you face "Eli shel miklat hakhadash."

Google Translate is nice and all, but that translation does not compute ("to the new receiver").
Has no relation to the Hebrew words you typed, which don't really make any sense as a phrase (literally, "My god of the new refuge")

Got it.
Usually in the American context, the town name gets transliterated--i.e., I'd be willing to bet that for Jewish weddings performed in the town, that the Hebrew letters in the marriage contract would sound out "New Haven" rather than translate each word into the Hebrew equivalent.
