Lamed is the tallest letter in the alphabet, demonstrat-ing how one can be earthbound, yet constantly aspire to do uplifting deeds above the norm. Kindness, charity, and caring for those in need are based in the physical, yet increase ones holiness and closeness with G-d.
The letter's numerical value is thirty, an age where it is said in the Midrash (Talmud) that when reached, a person can begin influencing the world. Prior to that, a person is preparing themselves by building knowledge and character.
