Episode description
We review the midrashic interpretations of the little aleph of the first work of Leviticus “Vayikra” and how orthography mirrors Moshe’s humility then how the mystical texts remake this image as Hashem making Himself small and the hassidic master’s appropriation of this idea in reflecting the “smallness” of Torah itself.
