Chai is a Hebrew word meaning living or alive. The image depicts the word as written in Hebrew, and is read from right to left: Chet Yod. Within Judaism the word is used as a symbol for longevity and prosperity. When the word is enumerated it comes out to the number 18, and for this reason the number 18 has a significant place within Judaism and Jewish Mysticism. It is entirely because of this enumeration that Jewish charitable giving is often done in multiples of 18, so as to give a blessing for long life to the recipient
