Description
EL SHADDAI, ELOHI AVRAHAM, ELOHI YITZCHAK, ELOHI YAAKOV are from the Hebrew, meaning GOD of ABRAHAM, GOD of ISAAC, GOD of JACOB
“And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty [El Shaddai] but by my name
Yud Hey Vav Hey was I not known to them” (Exodus 6:3-4).
Hebrew Bible source - “I am the God of you father, the God [Elohi] of Abraham, the God [Elohi] of Isaac and the God Elohi] of Jacob.” At this Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look. God said, “I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” God assured Moses that He would be with him, and when Moses asked God what His name was, God said “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you” (Exodus 6:3-4).
Most of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are featured in this painting.
The Rabbis of the Talmud regarded the letters as the basic elements of the universe, much as we think of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon (From the teachings of Rabbi Mitchell Chefitz, author The Seventh Telling , The Thiry-third Hour, The Curse of Blessings and White Fire.
The word Et consists of the letters aleph and tav, which include between them all the letters, as being the first and last of the alphabet (Zohar. 1984. Tr. Harry Sperling et al. New York: Soncino. 1:15b). The story of The story of Et:
Rabbi Dov Ber, the ‘Maggid of Mezritch,’ and a follower of the Baal Shem Tov, explains in “Or Torah,” the secret of the verse ‘Bereshit Bara Eloheim Et’ - IN A BEGINNING GOD CREATED ET. These are the first words of Torah, Genesis 1:1 - in a beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ET is a word that is not translatable into English. It is like a marker that says - "a definite direct object is next." Thus there needs to be an ET before THE heavens and THE earth. If there was no’ the,’ there would not need to be an ET. But Dov Ber points out a deeper meaning. ET is spelled - Aleph Tav. Aleph Tav is an abbreviation for the ALPHA-BET. Aleph is the first letter of the ALPHABET and Tav the last. So in a beginning God created the ALPHA-BEIT. And God did this before creating the heavens and the earth. God used the letters, the building blocks, to create the world (God) (Dov Ber,Rabbi. The ‘Maggid of Mezritch,’ 1986. Or Torah).
R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe of Chabad explains that if the letters were to depart even for an instant, all of creation would become absolute nothingness (Zalman, Shneur. 1981. "Igeret Hateshuvah. Shaar Hayichud.” Tanya. Brooklyn: Kihot. 289).
Some of you may read these words and laugh. Silly stories. But I challenge you to spend 5 minutes a
day thinking about the letters. Perhaps you could practice drawing one letter for about a minute and
then think about it of 4 minutes. See if you can do this every day for a few weeks. And watch what happens.
The letters are ALIVE.
