What's In a Name

This is the third of six short videos Frank Levy and I created with the help of Holleran Media. We invite you to share them widely.

Write God’s Hebrew Name vertically:

What's in a Name? Holy Letters. - by Mitchell Chefitz

The Yud corresponds to your head, the first Hay to your shoulders, arms, and hands, the Vav to your torso, and the final Hay to your pelvis, legs, and feet. You are the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26): Wisdom is within you (Deuteronomy 30:14); Holiness envelopes you (Thomas 3); God is ever-present to you (Psalm 16:8). Live accordingly: What is hateful to you, do not do to another (Shabbat 31a).
