Numerology is the mystical assignment of meanings to numbers. There are LOTS of meanings, and only so many small numbers, so it's possible that the same number might have several numerological "meanings".

In Hebrew, there are no separate numerals; Hebrew letters are used in place of numerals, and you should understand them in context. But the result is that many numbers are also WORDS. In Hebrew, the same characters, "chai", that say "life" represent the number 18. So the number 18 is often used to symbolize "life". 36 is twice that, or "Two Life" or "To Life!", the classic Hebrew and Yiddish toast and phrase of congratulations.

L'chaim! To Life!

Side note: when my wife and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary, she started telling people that we had been married for life!
