1956 תשט״ז–תשי״ז
1956 spans two Hebrew years: 5716 (תשט״ז) until Rosh Hashanah and 5717 (תשי״ז) after it. In the Torah codes, 1956 is found 485 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 5 (Exodus 28:23) — 27% above the 382 chance alone would give (probability of 485 or more by chance alone: 2.4 × 10⁻⁷).
