"Chai" is spelled chet-yod .
'Chet' is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
'Yod' is the 10th letter of the alphabet.
8 + 10 = 18 .
Because the letters for 'chai', the Hebrew word for 'life', add up to 18.
The word for "life" in Hebrew is "chai." The two Hebrew letters that make up the word "chai" are chet and yud. The letters have numerical value. The chai is equivalent to 8 and yud is equivalent to 10. So "chai", chet and yud added together, equals 18. Any multiple of 18, ie 18, 36, 54, etc. can be a chai number.
