the word for “life” in hebrew is “chai.” the two hebrew letters that make up the word “chai” are chet and yud. the numerical value of the two hebrew letters: chet is equivalent to 8 and yud is equivalent to 10 (representing the 8th and 10th letters of the alphabet respectively). so “chai”, chet and yud together, equals 18. giving money in multiples of $18 is symbolic of giving “chai” or life. many people give money in multiples of $18 as presents to someone celebrating a birth, a wedding or a bar or bat mitzvah.
