Tefillin (Hebrew: תפילין), also known as phylacteries in English, are a pair of black leather boxes containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah. They are worn by observant Jewish men during weekday morning prayers, with one box placed on the head (between the eyes) and the other on the arm (near the heart). The Hebrew term tefillin is derived from the Aramaic word tefillah, meaning "prayer," and the practice is rooted in the biblical commandments found in Exodus 13:1-10 and Deuteronomy 6:8, 11:18. In Yiddish, tefillin are referred to as tefillin or fil peyos, while in Ladino, they are called tefilin or filacterias. The tefillin on the head are called shel rosh (Hebrew: של ראש), and those on the arm are called shel yad (Hebrew: של יד). The ritual of wearing tefillin is a significant aspect of Jewish religious practice and is observed by many Jewish communities worldwide.
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.
