In Hebrew, each letter also has a numerical value, using a system called Gematria. So, for example, the word for "life" in Hebrew (חי) is composed of two letters

ח - Het=8 and

י - Yud=10 for a total numerical value of 18. Things like charitable donations are given in multiples of 18 for good luck. 126 is 7 times "life" - one for each day of the week.
