The Hebrew word for love, ahavah, has a gematria value of 13. The Gematria value of a word is calculated by summing the numerical values of its letters. In the case of the word ahavah, the letters Aleph (א), He (ה), Beth (ב), and He (ה) have numerical values of 1, 5, 2, and 5, respectively.
So what does it represent or signify?
In Judaism, the number thirteen (13) has several meanings. According to Jewish tradition, a boy comes of age and becomes a Bar Mitzvah, meaning he is responsible for all the mitzvot, when he turns 13.
In some communities, girls also come of age at 13, though in others it is at age 12. Additionally, God has 13 attributes of Mercy according to Rabbinic commentary on the Torah.
The name of God YHVH has a numerical value of 26. When a man and a woman love (“ahavah”) each other you have two ahavahs which is 13+13 = 26, that is the equal number of God’s name.
