In the mystical tradition of Kabbalah, words are more than mere descriptors; they are the building blocks of creation. Gematria is the alphanumeric system of assigning numerical values to letters, words, and phrases. Practitioners believe that words with identical numerical values share a spiritual connection or essence.
This Kabbalah Calculator utilizes the Mispar Hechrachi (Standard Method) to calculate the spiritual weight of your input. It supports both Hebrew characters and English transliterations based on the traditional Hebrew alphabetic values.

How to Interpret the Results
1. Standard Gematria: This is the direct sum of all letters. For example, the word "Chai" (Life) consists of Chet (8) and Yud (10), totaling 18. This is why 18 is considered a lucky number in Jewish tradition.
2. Mispar Katan (Reduced Value): This method reduces the total value to a single digit (1-9) by adding the digits of the standard sum repeatedly. This is often used to find the "root essence" of a word, similar to numerology.
3. Practical Application: Kabbalists use these calculations to find hidden meanings in the Torah, to match names for compatibility, or to gain deeper insight into the spiritual nature of concepts.
