Dictionary V Vav/6 Vav (or waw, or wav, or vaw) is the sixth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 6, or 6,000 when referring to years. Vav is shaped like a hook. It has the power to unite everything that is separated in creation. It represents kav, Hebrew for “window.” It connects God’s perfection to the created world. God guides existence step by step. Within us, this refers to the guidance to, eventually, the perfect unity to God through Christ. It is a window through which we may see all God has revealed. Through the window of Vav we gain the direct light of God, given to us through Christ, filling us with the Holy Spirit. Vav contains the power to connect the heavens and earth. This is Jacob’s ladder, rooted in earth, extended into the heavens. It is the priesthood, the power of God, sent from above down to mankind, God’s created beings. It represents the six days of the creation of the world, and thus the six stages of teshuvah. Vav also reminds us of the six physical dimensions: right to left, front to back, up to down. It can teach us the state of constant presence needed to connect our own heaven and earth (physical and spiritual aspects. Veil of the Testimony A curtain separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies inside the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and in later temples. This veil was an ornate object, woven from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarns. Figures of cherubim were embroidered on it by skilled craftsmen to represent protecting the throne of God. This veil represents the division between God and mankind. When Jesus died upon the cross, the veil in the temple in Jerusalem was torn from top to bottom. When Jesus died for us the barrier between God and mankind was destroyed in Jesus. Any veils used today are to represent our separation from God until we accept Jesus as the Christ through our sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit. Vet See Bet.
