A New Look At How The TorahConveys Ideas Through Numbers Gematria is a polarizing topic.While many love it, many othersview it with skepticism. What is the purpose of gematria? Can we truly learn anythingfrom the numerical representation of words? What is beneaththese creative yet apparently simplistic interpretations?While jointly pursuing semichah and a PhD in mathematics,it seemed natural for Elie Feder to love gematria. However,he was bothered by these compelling questions. That is,until he discovered the purpose of gematria. Gematria Refigured presents the discoveries that led to theauthor's transformation from a gematria skeptic to a gematrialover. Through its many examples, it develops a theory thatelucidates how the Torah and Chazal use gematria to direct ustoward a very specific type of idea and to provide perspectivesinto many mitzvos, themes, and stories in Tanach.
