The year 5710 תש״י

5710 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תש״י — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 710 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תש״י, and those letters add to 710.

The letters, and what each is worth

ת400ש300י10תש״י710

400 + 300 + 10 = 710, computed by the same engine that computes every value on this site, over the same consonantal letters.

Why the five thousand is missing

The full form is ה׳תש״י: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תש״י followed by לפ״ק — lifrat katan, “by the minor reckoning”, which is the writer saying out loud that the thousands have been dropped. It is a habit of writing and not a claim about the number: the year is 5,710, and 710 is what its letters spell.
