The Basics of Kabbalistic Numerology

The Kabbalah considers that the Hebrew letters are the means by which God created the universe, and that by knowing the mystery of the letters, the secrets of Creation can be understood.

In Hebrew, the letters are also numbers and each word of the biblical text has a specific numerical value called " gematria ". In this extraordinary book, the author reviews various types of calculations applied to the study of the Torah, many of them absolutely unknown to the general public. Shlezinger goes step by step through the fundamentals of letters, their features, and their shape in order to establish the fundamental numerical relationships, and then delve into deeper and deeper equations. A little-known fact is that even vowels have a numerical value, which is why Rabbi Aharon Shlezinger devotes an entire chapter to them.
