all Scrolls connect to Torah

Even a rolling pin used in cooking, if you regard its shape. I know there are deep and ongoing metaphoric connects that do inscribe all creation.

Unfortunately I cannot hear all this on line, but I find this compelling. Yes, certainly, to the order of the Hebrew letters though I would say to revisit the notion that the order of all letters beyond Hebrew is not also, deeply significant. In fact, I know I am right, because I am gifted a story that is profound, that involves all letters. You might say, our quotation marks could be seen as Yod Yod.

All such discussions are very significant, about the holiness of the letters and how they are written. The art of the Sofer is deeply significant. The JOY of this unraveling, which is endless, is humbling and astounding.

The ALEPH also connects to the symbol for yin yang and what is above and what is below. Of course, there is so much, much more.. There are bridges that can be made that connect "our reality" to these letters: a true miracle
