Holy Zohar text. Daily Zohar -93.

(The title of this commentary is a riddle. One of the mysteries of the letter Alef. Don’t worry about understanding it. Your soul will have joy looking at it.)

Tikkun #5 – continue

The letter א built from Yod, Vav (slanted) and Yod.
The Letter Alef
The letter Yod made out of three parts, head ראש, body/energy/essence תוך and manifestation סוף.
Yod represents the supernal thought of creation, like a crown on top of all the levels below it.
The Yod is on the head of Father and Mother, which are Chokmah and Binah.

Remember the letter Yod here is just a representation of the energy that can not be described in physical terms. Like your name written on the paper. Its not you but it represents the person that is you, your character, power, actions etc..

The Letter Yod

The beginning line of the letter Yod just before it appears as a thin line above the letter is Keter. As the letter expands to make the body of it. It is the body for cantillation and Nikud (dots, reading vowels) when the Yod ends again with a thin line at the bottom it reveals the letters of YHVH that is the 10 Sefirot. Yod is Chokmah, Heh is Binah, Vav is Zeir Anpin and lower Heh is Malchut. It is also the secret of Nikud, which reveal the light of the vessels as it reflected from Malchut.

  1. I am curious as to why you do not explain the riddle.

    1 is equal to unity. The Aleph is made from 2 yoods and a Vav -- Gematria of these 3 Letters is 26 which is the Gematria of the 4 Letter Name of Hashem -- Yood Kay Vav Kay.

    The 3 Letters represent the 3 column system and also the 3 hands of the body. the right hand Yad (gematria = 14) the Left hand Yad (gematria -- 14)and the third hand which is the body consisting of the five parts (Right arm, Left Arm, Right Leg, Left Leg, and Body) -- 3 hands 3 x 14 =42 whcih is Ana Bekoach -- which is the 42 Letter Name used by Hashem to create our world.

    chanoch ben yaacov :

    Great answer Chanoch,

    You asked “I am curious as to why you do not explain the riddle.

    One reason is that I don’t have all the time I need to write longer and detailed commentaries. (I wish). Usually I omit all the parts that are two hard to explain but this time I told myself that some will understand that or some will ask the questions and I will answer later.

    Questions and the search for answers create vessels. The light always come to the vessel.

    In addition to your answer; 1 26 is also 3x42=126. Alef is 1 and 111 (spelled, Alef, Lamed, Peh). Same numerical value as Pele (wonder).
