 Radical Torah » Blog Archive » The Smallest Alef
G@D’s prophesy to Bil’am (Bamidbar/Numbers 23:16), however, is introduced by “vayiqar”, without an Alef, a word that has two connotations: “by chance” (miq’reyh) and spiritual contamination (as in I Samuel 20:26).
The word “Alef” means, among other things, “to teach”, thus implying that no one should learn always to be “small” and humble.
I highly recommend Ari Elon’s book בא אל הקודש - in which he midrashes the little alef and him sitting in heaven changing all the be”ts in Vayikra to alefs so as to avert the human sacrifices like that of Nadav and Avihu.
