The Letter of the week is the letter Aleph, the first letter of the Torah, and it is a silent letter - making sound only due to what vowel it is paired with. The word of the week is Aviv, which begins with the letter aleph, and means Spring! Spring is here, and that is one of the important symbols of Passover, reminding us of rebirth and renewal at this time. In fact, one of the names for Passover is Chag Ha'Aviv - the Holiday of Spring. Chag Aviv Sameach!
