Ok, so I'm a biblical Hebrew nerd. In the breath prayer heart is "Lev." It is made up of two Hebrew letters. A "lamed" and a "bet" which is sometimes pronounced "vet" depending on whether or not a little dot is placed inside the letter. Anyway, the last letter of the Torah is a "lamed" and the first letter of Torah is a "bet/vet" so some people (including me) like the way the word lev brackets the Torah because Hebrew is read right to left.
