The year 5714 תשי״ד

5714 in the Jewish calendar is written ה׳תשי״ד — the ה is the 5,000 years, and the letters after it are the 714 since. Written on its own, as it is on nearly every page that carries a date, the year is תשי״ד, and those letters add to 714.

The letters, and what each is worth

ת400ש300י10ד4תשי״ד714

400 + 300 + 10 + 4 = 714, 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׳תשי״ד: the first letter carries the 5,000. In ordinary use it is left off and the year is written תשי״ד 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 5,714, and 714 is what its letters spell.

What the letters spell

No word of the twenty-four books is written תשיד — nor is any word written with these letters in any other order. The year’s letters are a numeral here, not a word, and this page will not make one out of them.
