PART 1: UNIQUENESS OF HEBREW

The deeper destiny of

the Hebrew language is
to draw the spiritual
powers into the world
 Why hasn’t Hebrew
changed with history?
Hebrew is
unchangeable
because it
represents spiritual
realms which never
change and do not
depend on time and
space.
The forces in charge of creating the
meanings of words in spirituality are
arranged in such manner that over the
course of millennia it is impossible to
change either the spelling of the words or
the shapes of the letters.   It cannot
change since its structure is based on
the forces which create the signs
regarded as letters and words.

The Letter Alef

Hebrew is a special language,

created by the union of the
Lights and Vessels.

Malchut unites with Bina, and

this causes the emergence of
the inclined border (Parsa) in
the letter Alef.

The Creator told her, “Aleph, Aleph, although the

world was created with the letter Bet, you will be
the head of all the letters.” My unity shall not be
expressed except through thee, on thee shall be
based all calculations and operations of the
world, and unity shall not be expressed save by
the letter ‫" א‬Aleph".
The Letter Bet
▪ Bet is made of the shape of two roofs
and a line which connects them.
▪ One roof is above—the heaven , the
sky, Bina. And one roof downward,
Malchut, and the Yesod, holds them
both and receives them.
▪ Three lines which hold together and
open the gateways for all.
▪ They are called a home for all
because the three lines in the letter
Bet imply the three lines of ZA which
are a ‫’“ בית‬bayit” house/home and
because of it, it is a cure for the whole
world (cure of the world)

The letter Bet entered. She said to Him, “O Lord of

the world, it is good for You to create the world with
me, for in me are You blessed above and below, since
Bet is Beracha [blessing].” The Creator told her, “I
will indeed create the world with you, and you will be
the beginning with which to create the world.”

“Ask for a letter from the Lord your God; ask either in the depth,
or raise it above.” What is the difference between the first
generations and the last generations? The first generations knew
and observed the high wisdom; they knew how to put together the
letters that Moses was given in Sinai… [And] were proficient in
the letters of the upper wisdom… And we know that in the upper
letters that extend from Bina, and in the lower letters that extend
from Malchut, it is wise to conduct actions in this world.”  (Zohar
L’Am, Vayikra )
