23 Adar (Vayakhel-Pekudei)
The stone representing shevet Binyamin is called the Yeshpe and Rabbeinu Bachyeh explains (Shemos 28,15) the reason is because "yesh pe" (he had a mouth), that he didn't tell Yaakov that Yosef was sold. But can't focus on how he had a mouth than use that to represent the way he didn't speak! We should say "EINpe" to represent how he acted as if he didn't have a mouth or something like that showing that he didn't speak. Yeshpe sounds like he did speak!
