5741 תשמ״א
5741 (תשמ״א) is the Hebrew year that runs from autumn 1980 to autumn 1981. In the Torah codes, 5741 is found 714,660 times across every skip (2–101,616), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 33:7) — 4.8% above the 681,666 chance alone would give (probability of 714,660 or more by chance alone: below 10⁻³⁰⁰).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 64,939 found · chance alone about 65,420 (probability of 64,939 or more by chance alone: 0.97).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 714,660 sequences of תשמ״א across every skip (2–101,616), 4.8% above what chance alone gives (about 681,666); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of below 10⁻³⁰⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 33:7, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תשמ״א was found in the Torah is 101,490 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 714,660 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.
Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
