Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov explains: the crucial thing to
realize is that G-d did not merely create the world once.
His words didn’t just emerge and then evaporate. Rather,
G-d continues to create the world anew each and every moment.
His words are there constantly, “hanging in the heavens.”
And the aleph-beit is the foundation of this ongoing process
of creation.
