The letter MEM in the word מוֹקְדָ֨ה in this week's parasha, TZAV, in Leviticus 6:2, is diminished when you look at an authentic Torah Scroll and in most publications, that honor the original text. I was not able to recreate or copy and past the diminished MEM here but you can see it if you look up the original text, for instance on Sefaria.org. We look into the letter being small and reasons why, plus why is it small in the word for "pyre" or "hearth" in particular. Find out more about MEM's gematria/numerical value and many connections to other MEM words in Judaism, the Bible and of course...MASHIACH! Which also starts with a MEM in case you were wondering! And...find out where in the Bible ONE word, and ONE word only, has a FINAL MEM...in the MIDDLE of the word!!!
