The kingdom of the Ten Tribes lasted for 241 years. (It began with their secession following Shlomo's death in 2964 since Creation; the capital, Shomron, was conquered, and its inhabitants exiled, in 3205.)
The Ashkenazim Pasken like the Rama. Rama = 241

In a non-leap year, Shavout is the 241st day in the year if Heshvan and Kislev are both Haserim (have 29 days):
Tishrei -30 days
Heshvan, Kislev, Tevet - 29 days each
Shvat - 30 days
Adar - 29 days
Nisan - 30 days
Iyar - 29 days
Sivan - 6 days (Shavuot is on the 6th day of Sivan)
Gematria for אמר (to say), not to mention that it is 53rd prime number.

I think Avi meant that Parshas Emor (אמר) was two weeks ago. I don't know that there's any "official" rules for what people like and don't like in this series, but in general, it looks like gematriaos aren't well-liked unless there is a source somewhere that indicates their significance.– AlexMay 16, 2011 at 21:41
(To the tune:) 241 are the hours of t'shuva.
