Judaism as a
religion is very focused on life. The word chai has great
significance, and the typical Jewish toast is l'chayim (to life).
Chai comes from the letter Chet
[ה] and Yod
[י].
Combining the
two letters forms the Hebrew word Chai -
הי.
This symbol, commonly seen on necklaces and other jewelry and ornaments.
The meaning of the Hebrew word Chai is "living". Some say it refers to
the Living God. Hebrew reads right to left, while English reads
left to right.
The numeric value of Chai is 18 and
monetary gifts are generally given in multiples of 18.
The name of the internet site called
MileChai is formed from the English word Mile and the Hebrew letter Chai.
Making a play on the phrase "Mile High" City of Denver.
[Mile Chai ®
- pronounced as in Mile High - silent C - long I]
