Aleph (first letter)

Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, symbolizing the number one and often representing beginnings, unity, or the origin of everything in Jewish tradition. Its shape is derived from ancient scripts and can suggest a breath or a source, emphasizing the concept of creation or the primal point from which all things emerge. In spiritual or philosophical contexts, Aleph signifies the interconnectedness of all existence and the unity underlying diversity. It serves as a foundation in language and symbolism, embodying the concept of primacy and the essential starting point of thought, communication, and existence.
