Jerusalem Gematria refers to the application of gematria, a form of Jewish numerology, specifically to the name "Jerusalem" (Hebrew: ירושלים, transliteration: Yerushalayim). Gematria involves assigning numerical values to Hebrew letters and interpreting words or phrases based on their numerical equivalents. In the context of Jerusalem, gematria is often used to explore mystical, theological, or symbolic meanings associated with the city. For example, the numerical value of "Yerushalayim" is calculated by summing the values of its Hebrew letters: י (10) + ר (200) + ש (300) + ל (30) + ה (5) + י (10) + מ (40), which equals 595. This number is then analyzed for its significance in Jewish tradition, such as its connection to other words or concepts with the same numerical value. Jerusalem gematria is particularly relevant in Kabbalistic and Hasidic teachings, where it is used to uncover hidden meanings and divine connections related to the holy city. While there is no direct translation for "gematria" in other languages, similar concepts exist in various cultures, such as isopsephy in Greek numerology and abjad in Arabic numerology.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
