Yud
Yud has the numerical value of 10, and is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The number 10 is associated with 10 fingers and toes, 10 commandments, 10 sephirot, 10 people needed for a minyan and the 10 sayings God used to create the world in Genesis.
It has the same root for words that mean hand, place and power in Hebrew. Its small seed like shape is deceiving, as it is a letter of primal force.
It symbolizes cosmic energy that expands from a point to fill the entire universe. When Yud comes into your life, a great transformation is about to happen.
