TANYA: FROM ALEF TO TAV LETTERS OF THE HEART

TANYA: FROM ALEF TO TAV LETTERS OF THE HEARTHashem used His holy letters to create words, and through them, worlds.As the Midrash says, "Ha'olam nivra belashon hakodesh, The world was created with the holy language." The Alef-Beis letters are the supernal letters of [G-d's] speech. Kabbalistically, contained within these twenty-two letters arethe fundamental spiritual underpinnings of the physical and spiritual, and higher and lower worlds. These underpinnings are composed of G-dly efluences, Hashem's energies and qualities that He kindly bestows on the world. Here, He bestows them through the Alef-Beis letters. Although this is highly mystical and ultimately beyond the powers of human beings to fully comprehend, you and I, all the higher and lower worlds, and all of the creatures in them, were created through these G-dly efluences.The Alef-Beis art contained in this book comes from many talented artists of all ages, from all over the world. Each represents the spiritual thoughts and aspirations of the artist, an invitation for you to onsider your own spiritual yearnings. I pray that as you encounter each splendid piece of art, you will be able to sense and experience each of the Tanya concepts coming to life.Please give yourself the luxury of time to savor the subtlety and nuanceof each piece of art. Enjoy. Breathe. Invite in your senses of imagination, sight, hearing, taste, touch. Take time to absorb the holy message. Dive into the Divine! As you gaze, meditate on the holy concepts that these pictures portray. What would you like to incorporate and actualize in your life, in your service of Hashem? Let the sensual experience arouse a greater love and awe of G-d within you. As you see G-d's creative handiwork flowing through these artists' masterpieces, see the potential of the final masterpiece called You. Lose yourself in the experience. Brainstorm. Be creative! How can you best incorporate and translate these ideas into your own vision of optimizing your higher consciousness? How can you best manifest this vision in all aspects of your daily life? How can you ask Hashem to help you with this? How could this impact your relationships, your spiritual practice and relationship with Hashem? See yourself uncovering the mysteries of G-d's creation as it is expressed in you. Allow it to reclaim you, to redeem you, to reveal your truest self.The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught that each letter has a particular powerthat will influence a child's developing Neshama as the process of learning the Alef-Beis unfolds. With that in mind, the Rebbe emphasized that children should be taught how to read by first learning each letter individually rather than by learning groups of letters and words.
