In פַּרָשַׁת
פִּינְחָס, Hashem gives Pinḥas the ultimate gift:
“הִנְנִי נֹתֵן לוֹ אֶת־בְּרִיתִי שָׁלוֹם”
“Behold, I
give him My covenant of peace.”
(במדבר כ״ה:י״ב)
But if you
look inside a Sefer Torah, you’ll notice something unusual:
The word שָׁלוֹם
is written with a ו׳ קְטוּעָה—a broken vav.
Why would
the Torah—which is תְּמוּמָה and שְׁלֵמָה—contain a broken letter?
