The first word in the Torah begins with the letter ב/bet (בראשית), while
the last word in the Torah ends with the letter ל/lamed (ישראל). Together,
these two letters spell the word 'lev' (לב), which means heart. Torah is the
heart of the Jewish people and is an expression of God's love towards all of
mankind; by studying it, we can access the "heart" of God. Learn all the letters

I have never considered myself a religious man but as a young
man in my twenties I had the pleasure of seeing Israel on three separate
occasions. Even though I am not a religious man the whole place and and all of
the amazing people just make your heart beat differently. I hope that one day I
will get to go back. Jeff
