The name Jahleel in Hebrew letters is יחלאל. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
יחלאל
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is יחלאל. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Genesis 46:14; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “expectant of God”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 79 — the same as the Torah word עדה, “congregation”. That number points to Torah page 79 of 354 — in the portion Miketz. What that portion is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Deuteronomy 1:38. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Jahleel” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: יחלאל. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name יחלאל gives 79.
79
The number 79 is the Torah word עדה — «congregation» (Exodus 12:3).
And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
This is from the portion Miketz. What it is about: Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears; Joseph rules Egypt; the brothers come for grain; the cup in Benjamin's sack.
The same number, 79, is given by these Tanakh names:
Boaz בעז
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) — 79. A Torah word with the same number is עדה — “congregation” (Exodus 12:3).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 16. A Torah word with the same number is אחז — “to seize” (Genesis 22:13).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 43. A Torah word with the same number is גם — “also” (Genesis 3:6).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 302. A Torah word with the same number is קרב — “to draw near” (Genesis 12:11).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 1965.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 204. A Torah word with the same number is צדיק — “righteous” (Genesis 6:9).
The letters that come out are מסכתכ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 540. A Torah word with the same number is שמר — “to keep, guard” (Genesis 2:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 697. A Torah word with the same number is תאמרון — “you shall say” (Genesis 32:5).
The number 79 appears in the classical books 7 times across 5 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 79. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name יחלאל does not stand as a separate word in the Torah, but appears 2 times with prefixes — first in Genesis 46:14.
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 יחלאל these are י and ל. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Deuteronomy 1:38:
יהושע בן נון העמד לפניך הוא יבא שמה אתו חזק כי הוא ינחלנה את ישראל
This is from the portion Devarim. What it is about: Moses begins his address in the plains of Moab: judges, spies, forty years of wandering, the victories over Sihon and Og.
«And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?»
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.
