Last Week's PPP (Va'eira)

TT#349PPP - Va'eira
Well, some solvers caught on completely, and others had part of the idea, but the important thing is that PPP is back...

All eight items in the PPP related to the Terms of Redemption. Not 4 or 5 terms, but all 8, as presented in the Lead Tidbit.

Chinese take-out is for V'HOTZEITI, and I will take you out...

The live preserver is for V'HITZALTI, and I will save you...

The Municipal Bonds in the lower-right that are DUE TODAY need to be redeemed, as in V'GA'ALTI.

The STAKE in the upper-right with the negated S makes TAKE, as in V'LAKACHTI.

The BEE is a play on words for V'HAYITI, and I will BE unto you...

The mortarboard (graduation cap) stands for knowledge, as in VIDATEM, and you will know...

The telephone's sound in cartoons is BBBBRRRRING, as in V'HEIVEITI...

and the GIFT is for the final term V'NATATI, and I will give the Land to you as a Heritage.

TT349PPP REPORT
Perfect answers were submitted by the famous Steinhart Gang (+CB), the GadMeir group, Shifra of the Klavan Klan.

Near perfect solutions by Josh from Talpiot, ,And partial solutions by anon. from Modi'in, the Havdala Haratis (with an alternate sol'n for the phone), the Ofra Shelnitzes (wine, indeed!), Bklyn MM with the grad cap being liberation, Benjietc who had two good (?) alternates - the Chinese "flied lice", as in KINIM, and the MORTARboard as in the materials for bricks.Nice. ES with a partial plus and some nice insights, Mintz/Ganin family (went away from the terms of redemption and had some alternate possibilities, and NC a first-time caller.

And I probably missed a couple of solvers.
