2000 תש״ס–תשס״א

2000 spans two Hebrew years: 5760 (תש״ס) until Rosh Hashanah and 5761 (תשס״א) after it. 2000 appears 55,757 times as an equidistant letter sequence in the Torah at skips 2–5,000, 2.7% more than chance alone would give (about 54,296; probability 2.2 × 10⁻¹⁰).

In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, תש״ס appears 55,757 times in the Torah — 2.7% more than the 54,296 chance alone would give; the probability of 55,757 or more by chance alone is 2.2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

The shortest skip at which תש״ס appears in the Torah is 3 — the first at Exodus 27:2, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), תש״ס is found 877,295 times; chance alone would give about 841,565.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 54,296 of it, so a large count is expected.
