The Hebrew word OT means sign (hence the book's title) and lends itself to two levels of understanding: each word has a spiritual meaning as well as an objective meaning. The initial meaning of Hebrew words is always spiritual, and each word represents the deep essence of the thing. A Hebrew letter is like a three-dimensional volume. In Hebrew, each word is like a DNA structure, which contains a sequence of information to understand its essence and decrypt the message it contains. The letters are codes that follow precise rules of understanding, so through a text, we always find the same logic. 

In infinite combinations, letters have formed signs, words, and language, facilitating the birth of matter and the first created forms, so they have enormous creative power since they are the building blocks of our world.

To understand the meaning of each letter, we must consider its shape. The letter Yod, for instance, has the shape of a seed or a dot. Yod initiates the writing of all the other letters and represents planning, the planting of seeds before harvest. Therefore, when the letter Yod occurs, it means we should focus on what our intentions are, the point where we can begin to realize our plans.

Ayn is shaped like two eyes, so it has a connection to seeing the good and the bad eye. We learn to see the outside world with a positive eye without feeling influenced by jealousy and envy.

Therefore, a Hebrew letter can be defined as a SIGN of recognition, a SYMBOL, a SEAL, a TESTIMONY, a MIRACLE, a PRODIGY, and a MEDAL. These terms designate the Hebrew word OT, LETTER as one of their synonyms. 

The beginning of the alphabet א-Alef is joined at the end Tav-ת with the help of the Vav ו: The first and last letters joined by a "hook" (letter Vav) between Heaven and Earth. The circle joins to reopen instantaneously in a time without closures. Signs אוֹתוֹת (Otòt) differs in the plural from אוֹתִיּוֹת (Otiyyòt), letters.

Procaccia jewelry is marked on our skin. Bracelets are symbols on the wrist. Earrings are a hallmark of our uniqueness. Pendant necklaces are testimonies of our history, and the ring is a seal that guards our secrets. The purity of gold and precious stones, bearers of light, witnesses all this.
