I was watching Million Dollar Listing, and Jewish people bought a house and kept adding 126 to the price and they said it was for luck. Why?
In Hebrew, each letter also has a numerical value. There’s a system called gematria which looks for patterns/similarities in this. So, for example, the word for “life” in Hebrew is composed of two letters whose numerical value is 18. Hence, things like charitable donations, and, in this case, the purchase price of a house are given in multiples of 18 for good luck.
