Description

 

“In the beginning Hashem created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet, is linked to Creation and of three basic elements:   “Adamah” (earth) and “Aish” (fire) and “Aveer” (air, wind).

Aleph corresponds to the number one.   Likewise, Adam, the first human being, was created as a sole creature. The first human being created was named Adam which also starts with Aleph.
