Aleph in Silence — Why?
Well … this is one of my attempts at writing Aleph with my new WACOM pen. After many hours of frustration this is what I have come up with so I am sure I will get more proficient as I learn more ( I am really hoping for that!). It is a lot harder than I thought. My own handwriting looks pretty bad when I use this pen, and I hope it will improve. I am struggling my way through Adobe Photo-shop and this is what I have come up with. Not even sure how I did it!!
Anyway, I said I was going to tell you a little more about Aleph …
I have read some things about Aleph and the silence of the letter. This does have significance when you think of Christ being humbled and silent against His accusers. The vav ( which you may recall has the numerical equivalent of 6 and therefore represents man) is described as being humbled in the face of God’s mystery ( that being the upper yod) and that is why it is diagonal — I hope my vav is humble enough? So, again we know that Christ was humble and can be represented here by the vav — and the silence of the letter also points to when Christ was silent when being accused.
The Aleph also points to a tri-unity because although it is numerically ‘1′ it has three parts to it. 
This I have read recently and I am yet to get to the other parts of the Aleph (being Aleph, Lamed and Pey) because the Aleph is made of three parts being the gematria of the word Aleph is 111 (Aleph=1, Lamed=30, and Pey=80). The Lamed and Pey are also in the Hebrew Alpha-bet and I will get to them in due course.
So, for now that is what I have learnt.
