This can be great if you are finding the Gematria value so any phrase, word or sentence. There is a custom in Eretz Yisrael to eat fifteen different types of fruits on Tu Be’Shvat. The Gematria of the word “Tu” — which is “tes” and “vav” in Hebrew — is 15, and the 15th of the month of Shvat is the date of this holiday. It is an opportunity to show our appreciation for all the varieties of fruits with which Hashem has blessed us. 1, p. 16, no. 83, mentions in his notes that in MS. Vatican it is written that the source of this gimatriya is Nachmanides. If you have any concerns relating to the place and how to use web page, you can get hold of us at the website. I do not know however of any source in Ramban’s books that says it. 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. So if many gematrias are ultimately a joke, why write a book about it? Feder writes how it has a limited, yet meaningful use in a few exceptional cases. And rather than their being simplistic, he uses them to develop meaningful Torah thoughts. When it comes to ancient texts that are inherently magical or purport to contain instructions for conjuring spells or demons, Wicca typically comes to mind. However, there are enchanted books from many different religious and spiritual backgrounds known as grimoires. Finally there is English Gematria which assigns a numerical value based on the English alphabet (1-26). Again this system can be applied just like any other type of Gematria but produces different results due to its unique numbering system.
