| Draw the gimel [∞]
The gimel is a vav with a yod hanging off the bottom like a leg extended. The vav comes down the side of the Square Letter Template, representing love coming to man
[1],
and the yod extending to the left is a little bit of Holiness being revealed. The purpose of the law is not to squish you, but to help explain who God is. He gave us his love, then pursued us with his holiness.
