The letter ל (Lamed) holds significant importance in Hebrew, symbolizing learning, teaching, and the intimate connection between a teacher and student. Its form rises above the square text template, signifying that true teaching originates in the heart of God. The letter descends to a position between the upper and lower horizontals, illustrating the necessity of a shared heart and understanding between teacher and student. Its shape also reflects the form of the ק (Qof), emphasizing that the central theme of the teaching is the "death of the Son." | The letter ל (Lamed) holds significant importance in Hebrew, symbolizing learning, teaching, and the intimate connection between a teacher and student.
