ג׳רי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ג׳רי. An English everyday short form, most often of Gerald or Jerome. Since the 20th century it is also registered as a full name. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 213. That number points to Torah page 213 of 354 — in the portion Bechukotai. What that portion is about: “If you walk in My statutes”: blessings for faithfulness and admonitions; vows and valuations; the tithe. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 23:4. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jerry” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ג׳רי. Spelled by the Academy of the Hebrew Language rules for foreign names. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name ג׳רי gives 213.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 213.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 6. A Torah word with the same number is בד — “alone, apart” (Genesis 2:18).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 33. A Torah word with the same number is גל — “heap of stones” (Genesis 31:46).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 856. A Torah word with the same number is תתנו — “you shall give” (Genesis 34:9).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 40109.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 419. A Torah word with the same number is אחתי — “my sister” (Genesis 12:13).
The letters that come out are רגמ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 243. A Torah word with the same number is אברם — “Abram” (Genesis 11:26).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 613. A Torah word with the same number is וזרת — “and a span” (Exodus 28:16).
The number 213 appears in the classical books 14 times across 4 works. The earliest mention is עץ חיים (~1573).
The name ג׳רי does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For ג׳רי these are ג and י. The Pentateuch has 2 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 23:4:
גר ותושב אנכי עמכם תנו לי אחזת קבר עמכם ואקברה מתי מלפני
This is from the portion Chayei Sarah. What it is about: Sarah's death and the purchase of the cave of Machpelah; the servant seeks a wife for Isaac; Rebecca at the well; Abraham's death.
Your name's day
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: ג׳רי = 213. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.

Vayikra (Leviticus) 26:6 · 213 / 354
Half of all names have such a day.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
