Shin

He is found by Sarah.

So the unique letter by Sarah is Shin.

The unique letter by Rachel is a Lamed.

The unique letter of Hannah is a Nun.

The letter that's not found by the other ones that's unique by them.

Those three letters, Sin, Nun, Lamed, Shin adds up to 300, Nun adds up to 50, and Lamed adds up to 30.

And that's exactly the measurements of the next Teva.

The Pesach says it was 300 Amos long, that's a Shin.

One

is by chance, last night we were learning in Hebrew, in the Zohar and Ropej, Shin Vav.

That's the first two letters of Shofar, okay? And when you learn about the Shofar, the Ari tells you, Shin Vav happens to be the Gematria of Vash, honey, okay? Dalet, Bet, Dalet is four, Bet is two, six, and Shin is 300, 306, like show.

Par, in Hebrew, right, is bull.

His power is the Gematria of the five N letters, which they symbolize the five forces.

Turns out they only prepared us for the redemption, and that's what the pasuk says, the Tefillin.

And when you put on your Tefillin in the morning and you look at the Shins and you're reminded, I don't understand God.

Only one man understood God from the front.

That's Mm.

But everybody else understands it from the back.

And when you put on the Tefillin, you see those Shins, and you say one day, Wow.

They're gonna see the Shin of the Tefillin, and they're gonna understand that this Shin is a Yud Kei Vav Kei in retrospect.

The Mat Pat is 300, and then Wow.

That's pretty cool.

We come to the Shin.

It has an ancient picture also associated with it.

Its picture is, I'm doing it in black, teeth.

It looks like a W.

In fact, Shin, it's the Hebrew letter that looks sort of like a W, but it's actually teeth.

You see devouring teeth, and anytime you see a Shin, it represents destruction and devouring, okay? Teeth, destroying.

Interesting.

When Divine says to Moshe, "I am," right, "the, the God of your forefathers." And we know that the Avot, and we could read it in, in the Torah portions, that the forefathers call the Divine by the name Kel Shakai, El Shaddai.

The God of Shakai, Shaddai, Shin, Daled, Yud.

God of strength, the God of power, the God of enoughness.

We'll explore that.

And the Divine says, "So I-- this is how your forefathers knew me, Kel Shakai, El Shaddai." And Moshe says, "I wanna be known-- I wanna know you in a different way.

Show me your face." Right? And this is a threshold moment of a kind of relationship unfolding over time of Yud Kei, Vav Kei, of the transcendent God, of the Ehye Asher Ehye, of the Divine that's transcendent and yet so in every detail of our lives, above and within, encompassing and completely embodied.

And it struck me as I was feeling Moshe and this threshold moment and all of our threshold moments and all of the thresholds that we walk through, and I was like, "Ah, Kel Shakai," and if you spell it in Hebrew, Shin, Daled, Yud, is the same shoresh as sade, as the field.

Right? For those of us who speak, read Hebrew, right? Sade, Sin, Daled, He.
