Sefer Yetzira (Book of Creation)
The essence of Lamed is to learn and to teach which can be seen in its form. The letter is made of a Chaf and a Vav. Vav is the connection of the teacher to the receiving student, the vessel, Chaf. It can also be seen as a hook and a pan, the image of balanced scales, the symbol of Libra.
The letter Lamed symbolizes a love for learning (limud, in Hebrew). They are open to receive and accept logic. They know how to relate to people from a higher place and live harmoniously in different situations. They are able to see the grand scheme and therefore have great leadership and managerial skills. (Shemot Bnei Adam)
