Description

NOAH’S ARK
The Hebrew Bible relates in Genesis that God, despairing of the world’s wickedness, resolved to destroy it and begin anew. God commanded Noah to build an ark to save a remnant of living things from the Flood…The rabbis regarded the ark and Noah’s care for the animals inside it as a model of compassion (1992. Frankel, Ellen and Betsy Platkin Teutsch. The Encyclopedia of Jewish Symbols. Northvale: Jason Aronson. 13-14).
This painting may also be purchased in prints, on tote bags, towels etc.

The Hebrew word for ARK is TEVAH, Tav Beit Hey. This word is used only one other time in Torah, when Moses as a baby, was thrown upon the Nile in a basket. The basket is the TEVAH.

The Hebrew word TEVAH means WORD. God gives Noah directions concerning the building of the Ark. In Genesis 6:16 God tells him to make 3 decks and a roof. The word used for ROOF here is TZOHAR. A TZOHAR is something which ILLUMINATES. The Baal Shem Tov teaches that we can learn from the construction of the ark, the construction of prayer. One makes a TZOHAR so that each word spoken in prayer will be made to radiate. Each letter of our prayer contains WORLDS and SOULNESS and GODLINESS [three decks of the ark]. The letters ascend, and bind themselves, and unify themselves one with another until they form a TEVAH, a WORD of prayer. (Baal Shem Tov al ha Torah. Amud HaTefillah. Tet Vav).

In this painting ALL 22 of the Hebrew letters are represented.

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 (Mitchell Chefitz, author of The Seventh Telling, The Thirty-third Hour, The Curse of Blessings, White Fire, Blood Covenant and The Rx of Dr. Z , Zoom Torah and The Kabbalists Alep- Bet: Holy Sparks Ascending).

The story of ET.

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 Mitchell Chefitz, author The Seventh Telling. , The Thiry-third Hour, The Curse of Blessings, White Fire and Blood Covenant).

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. 11:15b).
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-BET. And God did this before creating the heavens and the earth. God used the letters, the building blocks, to create the world.

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 think about it of 4 minutes. See if you can do this every day for a few weeks. And watch what happens. They letters are ALIVE!!!!
