Question
Dear Rabbi,
I’ve just set up my own dating agency in London. I would like to call it 7Match.
I would like to know if you could tell me what the number 7 means in jewish religion and if it’s a lucky number for my company?
I was wondering if the number 7 had any significations related to relationships?
Thank you for your help.
Answer
The belief in lucky and unlucky numbers is rooted in superstition, not in Judaism. All numbers, like everything else G-d created in the world, are there for a good purpose. The number seven is often used in the Bible to signify “a lot”- for example: the promise that our enemies will flee from us in seven directions. If it is a Jewish dating service, perhaps you could refer to the fact that there were three Patriarchs- Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and four Matriarchs- Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, in other words- seven Fathers and Mothers.
