"There are over 150 laws concerning how the Hebrew Alphabet must be
written by the Jewish Scribe. I will try to scan in each letter separately,
and point out some of the things to look for in good writing. Note:
This is only a reference and is by no means complete." ---Rabbi Yisroel

"The Meru Project is based on 25 years of research by Stan Tenen into
the origin and nature of the Hebrew alphabet, and the mathematical structure
underlying the sequence of letters of the Hebrew text of Genesis. The
Project is sponsored by the Meru Foundation, registered California 501(c)(3)
private nonprofit research and educational corporation founded in 1983."

"A Gateway to the Wisdom of Kabbalah and Chassidut offering a contemporary
presentation of classical topics in Jewish Mystical as taken from the
teachings of Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh. The Art of Gematria: Hebrew Numerology
Introduction In Hebrew, each letter possesses a numerical value. Gematria
is the calculation of the numerical equivalence of letters, words, or
phrases, and, on that basis, gaining, insight into interrelation of
different concepts and exploring the interrelationship between words
and ideas." Gal Einai Institute

"The Hebrew Alphabet is read from right to left. Each letter possesses
a numerical value. The chart below is mapped - meaning you can click
on any of the letters - and find out more information on each letter
of the AlefBeis." Chabad Lubavitch in Cyberspace

"The paths of the Tree of Life represent our movement from one state
to another. Each of the twenty-two paths corresponds to a letter from
the Hebrew aleph-bet. In my descriptions of the paths, I have been guided
not only by traditional associations assigned to these letters, but
also by the meanings of the two sephirot joined by a particular path.
I have also kept in mind that the left side of the tree is oriented
more toward the functions of the left hemisphere of the brain, and that
the right side of tree corresponds to the more holistic functioning
of the right hemisphere of the brain." Benton's Jewish Mysticism from
Deep in the Heart of Texas
