Berasheet bara Elohiem (Aleph Tav or Alpha Omega) .......... In the beginning G-d(s) the Alpha & Omega created from nothing the heaven and earth....... Do I read that right?

Close, but no cigar:

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'arets.

"In the beginning God created heaven and earth."

Elohim is not properly translated 'God(s)'.

Sorry.
There were two questions in one posting.

1) There seems to be some confusion over Elohim by some commentators.
Could you illuminate the difference between the singular and plural endings.

2) I want to draw your attention to the untranslated aleph and tau between "G-d"and "the heaven".

This also occurs in Zechariah 12:10 between "look on me" and "whom they have pierced"

Tehillim (Psalm) 78:35 They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
