If anything, the first letter of the aleph-bet, which equals one, should be only one component. That would be perfect. It would match. It would It would would make sense. The one is just one one maybe a dot, like the yud. Let's say the yud really should be the aleph. But no, if you look at the aleph, it's really three letters that make up the aleph. So, why don't why do three things make up one? Because we're not talking about one, we're talking about oneness. Oneness is the uniting of multiple things. And so, the aleph really represents the union between the two minds of the students in this context and how they come together in an aleph. In a husband and wife scenario, it's also the the physical connection of the making children. And in God and Moshiach and God and us, how we unite through Torah, it's also the letter aleph with the vav in the middle, cuz we know that God and the Torah and the Jews are one. That's the aleph. The the yud on top is God, the yud on the bottom is the Jewish people, and the vav in the middle is how we unite through God's Torah.
