The Kaballah
The Torah is just a long string of numbers. Some say that it's a code sent to us from God."
- Lenny Meyer, in Pi.
Kabbalah is an ancient aspect of Jewish mysticism dating back to the time of Moses. Consisting largely of speculations on the nature of divinity, creation and the soul, Kabbalah is said to have originated from the oral law which Moses received from God. The principle root of Kabbalistic tradition is a belief in the divinity of the Torah (the first five books of the bible), and that by studying it one can unlock the secrets of creation.
The film not only deals with Kabbalah, but also with Gammantria, or the use of mathematics to unlock the secrets of the Torah. Ancient Hebrews used the alphabet as their numerical as well as there lettering system, therefor, each letter was assigned a numerical value. For example the Hebrew "A," aleph, is equal to one, while "B," bet, is equal to two and so on. Taking this into consideration, we can then convert the entire Torah into a large string of numbers. When these numbers are analyzed, patterns emerge, not unlike the patterns revealed in the hotly contested book, "The Bible Code." Take a look at the sites below and draw your own conclusions]
