Samekh (or Samech) is the 15th Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 60. Samekh represents protection, support, and memory, reminding us to lean upon, support, uphold the Torah of God. The outside of the letter, a circle, represents God as the Creator, it is Orr Makif; and within the circle his creation.
God is ever present, supports and protecting that which he has made. Samekh teaches us ubuntu, to seek the good of the whole (altruism), not just one’s self (Ego). Wisdom tells us that our world is not contained in merely one vessel, but in all beings, this also teaching us Tikkun Olam. Samekh helps us clean ourselves of negativity and distortions created by Ego.
