[Avodah] The Holy Aleph

[Richard Wolberg]

The letter aleph has three parts: the top, bottom and the line that
connects. If you look at it carefully, there's a "yud" on top, a "yud" on
the bottom and there's a line in between. So yud is ten and the second yud
is 10, the line in the middle is a vov which is six, so you have 26 which is
the gematria of God's Name. 

 

So therefore, aleph always represents HaShem Echod, (26 for God and aleph
for one). It has also been taught that the aleph can be seen in another
profound way: the yud at the top refers to God; the yud at the bottom refers
to the Jew and the line in between is the level of yiras shamayim that
connects God and the Jew. So the aleph itself has a special kedusha.
