==== Nifneh ==== [[File:ΧΧͺΧ Χ Χ€Χ Χ.jpg|thumb|A response from the Rebbe in his holy handwriting to a 12-year-old girl in which he responds to a blessing written to him in mezuzah script. At first, the Rebbe wrote in regular script "Nifneh": '''Azehu PM VeGashlu''' (thank you for the blessing) and afterward crossed it out and wrote in mezuzah script to match the girl's writing style: '''"Shehaged Sach Dakid"''']] Nifneh is a term for "Maamad" money that originated in Russia due to concerns about the secret police. The name Nifneh is written in the "Alef-Bet Gimmel-Dalet" code, meaning the letters Nun, Pei, Nun, Hei are the next letters in alphabetical order after the original letters Mem, Ayin, Mem, Dalet. For example, God's name written in the verse with the letters Yud, Hei, Vav, Hei becomes Chaf, Vav, Zayin, Vav. This code is called "Mezuzah script," because such encoding is found behind the mezuzah where the letters "Kuzu Bemuchsaz Kuzu" are written, which are the consecutive letters for the words "Hashem Elokeinu Hashem."
