Little Alef, Big Impact

TDSA's first and second grade boys learned something fascinating this week about the first word in Parshas Vayikra. They learned that when writing the Torah, Moshe Rabbeinu specifically made the letter "Alef" in the word "Vayikra-and He called" smaller than the other letters in the word. This was to show Moshe's tremendous humility. Even though Hashem specifically called to him, Moshe made the Alef smaller to show that he wasn't that important. To drive home this lesson, the boys went into our very own beis medrash and were able to see inside the Torah how small the letter "Alef" is in this word. Seeing the small "Alef" up close certainly made quite an impact!
