Why We Donate in Multiples of $18
Each Hebrew letter has a numerical equivalent, and the sum of the letters that create the Hebrew word for life, CHAI, is 18, chet (numerical value of 8) plus yud (numerical value of 10). As a result of its connection to the word for life, the number 18 is considered a special number in Jewish tradition. For this reason, Jews frequently make gifts or charitable contributions in multiples of $18.
1 = $18
2 = $36
3 = $54
4 = $72
5 = $90
6 = $108
7 = $126
8 = $144
9 = $162
10 = $180
11 = $270
12 = $360
13 = $450
14 = $540
15 = $630
16 = $720
17 = $810
