Download Letters of Light: A Mystical Journey Through the Hebrew Alphabet AudioBook Free
Being a carpenter employs tools to create a home, so G-d employed the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the alef-beis, to create heaven and globe. These letters are the metaphorical wood, natural stone and nails, part posts and crossbeams in our earthly and religious existence. In Words of Light, Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin explores the fact of these holy letters, illustrating how they continue to be a source of creation, representation, prayer, and motivation in our everyday lives. Each letter is examined in conditions of its design, gematria (numerical value), and Hebrew interpretation. Rabbi Raskin's insights are guided by the rich foundations of Chasidic viewpoint, particularly by the illuminations of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe. The effect is a unique and insightful exposition of how the 22 letters of the alef-beis can offer wisdom and instruction for every aspect of our lives.
