The text at the top tells you the status of the program (for example- “Loading”), while the options allow you to change how the search operates (for example- “Gematria” or “Text”). When usingMilui,thegematriaof these “fuller” spellings is what reveals the deeper dimensions. This whole Kabbalistic device can be compared to putting an object under a microscope. Each power of magnification reveals new details and dimensions of the object. TheAlbamsystem is similar toAtbashbut in this structure of exchanging letters the alphabet is divided in half, eleven letters in each section. The first letter of the first series is exchanged for the first letter of the second series, the second letter of the first series for the second letter of the second series and so forth. The Hebrew letters are explained to be the building blocks of creation. Similar to how a physicist or chemist would describe the world as consisting of atoms, particles, molecules and elements, the Jewish tradition describes this same function to the Hebrew letters. Although the language of science and Torah are different they are both describing the same reality. As someone with a doctorate in mathematics, I hoped to see more math in this book. Particularly about when people use gematrias to determine if a certain shidduch should or should not be pursued. But Feder disappointingly does not get into the math of how gematrias work or how the simple gematrias of today are mathematically meaningless. It develops a theory which elucidates how the Torah and the sages use gematria to direct us toward a very specific type of idea. Through its many examples, this work illustrates how gematria can help us uncover novel insights, while providing interesting and clearly formulated perspectives into many mitzvot, themes, and stories in the Tanach. Just type the words, letters, or name you want to the input above to see the Gematria value. An example of gematria is the word Hebrew word chai (חי), which means alive.
