Vav – a special letter
You probably know that there is a correspondence between Hebrew letters and numbers. Number 6 corresponds to the letter “vav”. “Vav” is shaped like a hook holding two things together (ו); normally, “Vav” is translated as “and”. This letter is also referred to as “vav of connection” therefore, “the Sixth Day”—Yom HaShishi (Yom Vav)—connects the spiritual and physical; heaven and earth, six days of Creation and Shabbat.
The day of connection
We can see a wonderful confirmation in today’s Jewish life. Anyone who has experienced Shabbat in Israel knows that Friday, Yom Shishi, is a really special day of the week, since it is the beginning of Shabbat. As such, it connects and holds together the six days of the week and the most important day of the Jewish week, Shabbat (Saturday).
Discover the nuances of the Bible
The importance of this day is clearly emphasized in Judaism: the day we celebrate as the Jewish New Year, is not actually the anniversary of Creation, it is the anniversary of the sixth day of Creation—Yom Hashishi. According to Jewish understanding, Creation became meaningful when man was created: the Sixth Day connected heaven and earth, and God was proclaimed King!

Vav –特殊字母
您可能知道希伯来字母和数字之间存在对应关系。数字6对应于字母“ vav”。 “ Vav”的形状像一个钩子，将两件东西结合在一起（ו）；通常，“ Vav”被翻译为“和”。这封信也被称为“联系的vav”，因此，“第六日”（Yom HaShishi（Yom Vav））将精神和身体联系在一起；天地，创世和安息日的六日。
连接日
我们可以看到当今犹太人生活中的美好确认。任何在以色列经历过安息日的人都知道，赎罪日（Yom Shishi）是一个非常特殊的日子，因为它是安息日的开始。这样一来，它将一周的六天和犹太周最重要的一天安息日（星期六）连接在一起。
发现圣经的细微差别
犹太教清楚地强调了这一天的重要性：我们庆祝犹太新年的那一天，实际上并不是创世的周年纪念日，而是创世第六天的纪念日。根据犹太人的理解，当人类被创造时，创造就变得有意义：第六天将天地相连，上帝被称为国王！参加我们的在线在线希伯来圣经课程，希伯来语将揭示圣经的细微差别！
