Hebrew Alphabet Ciphers
Apply Hebrew cipher techniques (Albam, Atbah, Avgad, Aiq Bekar) to the English alphabet. These traditional substitution methods have Kabbalistic origins.
About Hebrew Ciphers
Albam: Fold alphabet in half, swap positions (like ROT13)
Atbah: Reverse within groups (A-I, J-R, S-Z)
Avgad: Caesar +1 shift (A→B→C...)
Aiq Bekar: Reduce to single digit (A,J,S=1; B,K,T=2...)
Hebrew Alphabet Ciphers
These traditional cipher techniques originate from Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and were used for encoding sacred texts. Here we apply the same principles to the English alphabet.
Albam Cipher
Albam divides the alphabet in half and swaps corresponding letters. This is equivalent to ROT13 and is self-reciprocal (encoding twice returns the original).
Atbash Cipher
The most famous Hebrew cipher reverses the entire alphabet (A↔Z). This tool's Atbah variant applies reversal within smaller groups.
Avgad Cipher
A simple shift cipher where each letter moves forward by one position. Also known as a Caesar cipher with shift of 1.
Aiq Bekar (Kabalah of Nine Chambers)
Groups letters by their numeric value modulo 9, reducing the alphabet to digits 1-9. Used in Kabbalistic numerology and sometimes in puzzles.
