Yiddish (ייִדיש, transliterated as Yidish or Yiddish) is a High German-derived language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. It originated around the 10th century in Central Europe and was later widely spoken by Jews in Eastern Europe, particularly in the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire. Yiddish is written in the Hebrew alphabet and incorporates elements from various languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic, Old French, Old Italian, Old Spanish, Old Church Slavonic, and more recently, English, Russian, and Polish. The language has a rich literary tradition, with notable works by authors such as Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer. Yiddish is also known as Jiddisch in German, Yidish in Dutch, and Yidishe in Spanish. Despite a decline in native speakers due to the Holocaust and assimilation, Yiddish has experienced a revival in recent decades, with efforts to preserve and teach the language in communities and academic institutions 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.
