The word “אמת” (truth) in the shape of the letter ב.
Truth is the seal of Hashem. Truth is — you know it when you see it. You know it when you hear it. You know it when you feel it. At least, your flicker of soul does. So look, listen, and feel with your soul.
You’re the house. You can’t lose. Put it all on green.
Talmud Shabbat 55a: “Reish Lakish said: The letter Tav is the last letter of the seal of the Holy One, Blessed be He, as Rabbi Ḥanina said: The seal of the Holy One, Blessed be He, is truth [emet], which ends with the letter Tav.”
Talmud Shabbat 104a: “They further taught: Shin: Falsehood [sheker]. Tav: Truth [emet].
Why are the letters of the word sheker adjacent to one another in the alphabet, while the letters of emet are distant from one another? That is because while falsehood is easily found, truth is found only with great difficulty. And why do the letters that comprise the word sheker all stand on one foot, and the letters that comprise the word emet stand on bases that are wide like bricks? Because the truth stands eternal and falsehood does not stand eternal.“
