Daily Thought
What Is Alef?
What is an alef? A point above, a point below, and a line between. Whatever we may understand of Him is but an infinitesimal point above. The only way we can join with Him is as an infinitesmal point below. And what empowers us to become this zero-point below that resonates with the infinite-point above? Our awe of Him, a line that connects below to above. Hayom Yom, 8 Adar I; 10 Shevat 5716.
