called a dagesh in the centre of the letter for b and no dot for v in modern hebrew the more commonly used ktiv hasar niqqud spelling which does not use diacritics does not visually distinguish between the two phonemes citation needed this letter is named bet and vet following the modern israeli hebrew pronunciation bet and vet bet in israel and by most jews familiar with hebrew although some non israeli ashkenazi speakers pronounce it beis or bais 4 and veis bejs or vais or vaiz 5 it is also named beth following the tiberian hebrew pronunciation in academic circles an alternative

is said to symbolize that there are two parts to torah the written torah and the oral torah according to jewish legend the letter bet was specially chosen among the 22 letters in hebrew by god as the first letter of torah as it begins with bereshit in the beginning god created heaven and earth 8 genesis rabbah points out that the letter is closed on three sides and open on one this is indicate that one can investigate what happened after creation but not what happened before it or what is above the heavens or below the earth 9 syriac beth edit beth madnḫaya beth serṭo beth esṭrangela beth
