As a carpenter employs tools to build a home, so G‑d utilized the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the alef-beis, to form heaven and earth. These letters are the metaphorical wood, stone and nails, cornerposts and crossbeams of our earthly and spiritual existence.
In Letters of Light Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin explores the essence of these holy letters, illustrating how they continue to be a source of creation, reflection, prayer and inspiration in our everyday lives.

From the Rebbe's Reshimos, No. 169
[The letter] vav [has the numerical value of six]. It refers to Z’eir Anpin [lit. “small faces”—the six lower Divine attributes in the exalted spiritual world of Atzilus, the main attribute being Tiferes, in the middle between the extremes of right and left], which is [therefore] called emes [the path of truth].
