Rabbi Berel Wein offers a meaningful explanation of the small alef in the Torah reading of the first word in Leviticus, Vayikra. He says that the small alef teaches us that God spoke very softly. Only Moses could hear God, not the Israelites. In the same way, Elijah at Mount Sinai finds that God is not in the strong wind, the earthquake or the fire. Instead, God speaks to him with a “still, small voice.”
So the One speaks today.
Listen.
