the tenth letter of the hebrew alphabet

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The letter yod is the smallest character in the hebrew alphabet but holds great significance in jewish tradition. Scholars of ancient languages study how the yod is pronounced and used in different grammatical contexts. The yod appears frequently in hebrew texts and is often transliterated as the english letter y. In kabbalistic teachings the yod represents the initial point of creation from which all existence emerges. The scribe carefully wrote each yod in the torah scroll ensuring every letter was perfectly formed.
