"Is Every Gematria Significant?
Gematria is simple arithmetic, and anyone with a calculator can come up with some creative gematrias. Does that mean that the two words or phrases are connected? The Rebbe writes that every gematria must be sourced to be significant. If a link exists, as recognized by an appropriate authority, the numerical value can add to this association. But the gematria alone does not create a connection.19
In short, gematria is a legitimate way to interpret Torah, but only when utilized correctly."
Is this true?
And if the insignificant connections aren't "coincidences," what are they?
