The teaching
The first word of Vayikra hides the smallest letter in all of Torah — a tiny aleph, written small by Moshe himself.
The Baal HaTurim teaches this was intentional. Moshe made himself small. And this book, whose very name means "to draw close," opens with that miniature letter.
In Tai Chi we call it sung — release without collapse. Soften the shoulders. Empty the chest. Let weight pour into the earth. You cannot force it. The moment you effort toward it, it's already gone.
Moshe emptied himself the same way. Not weakness — structural surrender. Only then could the voice move through him.
Exhale. Soften. Become small enough to receive.
