=Yod=The first stroke is conceptually an infinitesimally small dot. That is difficult to draw and even harder to see so the yod <font face="TimesNewRoman" size=6>י</font>represents it. it is the same as the tenth letter of the alphabet. To the Greeks it is the iota. In English we call it a jot. Jesus said that the tiniest part of the law would not disappear before it was all fulfilled. <ref>[[Mt 5:18]] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.</ref> As a metaphor, the yod represents: the first idea that God had to create, the first void in himself that he made in which to put his creation, the creation itself, the creator, or if two yods are used, as two parts of the whole.  The formation of every letter starts by drawing a yod. Because of this we say that everything God intended to create, comes from the yod, since it forms the letters which form the words of creation.
