DBG, any scholarship why Shema ends in an Ayin and not a Aleph?

Date: June 6th, 2026 9:29 PM Author: Chrome international law enforcement agency There are two “silent” letters in Hebrew: alef and ayin. Shin-mem-ayin means “listen,” but shin-mem-alef means “perhaps.” The ayin is written oversized to draw our attention to it, so we don’t err and say, “Perhaps, Israel, Hashem is our God….” Similarly, the letters dalet and reish look very similar. Alef-ches-dalet means “one,” while “alef-ches-reish means “another.” The oversized dalet keeps us from misreading and saying “there is another God” (God forbid!), which would be the exact opposite of “Hashem is One!”
