It is 100% stock-and-trade Orthodox Judaism that Amalek (not necessarily ancient Persians...those who conquered Babylon) develops into, in part, Germany. And that the sizes, shapes, crowns, numerical values, and even names of the letters are loaded with INFINITE meaning and depth. Every Orthodox rabbi believes this.

Interesting, because I’ve also read that “Armenians” and “Palestinians” have also been considered descendants of Amalek by other Jewish traditions. And, in addition, there have been some rabbinical views that all enemies of Israel, who seek its annihilation, are seen as “types” of Amalek and Haman. I find it difficult to believe that all “100% Orthodox” Jews hold your view.

As to the “sizes, shapes, crowns, etc.” of the Hebrew manuscript, I completely understand the absolute respect the ancient scribes and priests held for the text and would destroy any hand written copy if one mistake was discovered. However, what you are describing, sounds like “conjuring” or even “divination” in the use of the Holy Word of G_d. I do not know of any passage in the Hebrew scriptures where it is taught to ascribe meaning to sizes, shapes, crowns, or to derive that the names of letters are “loaded with infinite meaning” - unless G_d directly commands us to do such a thing.

I do understand that the Hebrew letters have numerical values and that there are apocalyptic meanings given to some numbers - but, other than that, I don’t see what you are describing as ever practiced by Moses or the Prophets.
