Description

Hashem created all the spiritual worlds with the 22 letters of the hebrew Aleph Beis. Creation of the physical world is sustained by virtue of the word of Hashem. Each letter has a shape, a name and significance which corresponds to writing, speech and thought respectively. The three books opened on Rosh Hashanah are also sustained through Hashem's word. The purpose of evil is to enable free choice when we see its destruction. The greatness of Hashem is revealed through the righteous and the wicked. The destruction of the wicked creates a revelation of Hashem's greatness. Through overcoming evil, man will come to fear Hashem.
