In his first sentence Torah says that "In the beginning God created the heaven and the-r land."

Their various combinations allow us to see the relationship between different at first sight words and concepts. We need to know their numeric value - the blood-theory, for the words with the same gematria have common properties (similar to the world of physical objects, many of which are similar to one another, as they consist of hydrogen, oxygen and other essential elements.)

Even in the simplest terms, the names of the Jewish people and Gd, life and death, male and female, the heroes and villains of the Tanakh, you can find the startling idea of opening our eyes at the slightest effort as soon as we remove them from the "outer cover."
This book - for beginners. Designed to awaken the reader's intellectual appetite she will tell you about the rewards that you will honor if seriously react to the Talmudic dictum that the Torah, "talking to seventy languages" may be interpreted by countless levels. After reading the book, you will love and appreciate the Hebrew, that is the only language in which Gd revealed His truth on Mount Sinai. And then I'll take that fully rewarded for their work.
