When Torah student Stav Appel encountered the Jean Noblet Tarot-one of the oldest preserved decks in the tradition of the Tarot de Marseille-he found something curious: the Magician held his arms in the shape of the Hebrew letter \u003cem\u003ealeph\u003c\/em\u003e ?, the Hermit wore a Jewish prayer shawl, and three pieces of matzah hid beneath the Moon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Torah in the Tarot\u003c\/em\u003e, Appel carefully analyzes the Noblet Tarot, uncovering a rich array of Jewish symbols ingeniously concealed in its images. Given the deck's origin circa 1650, during the Catholic Church's centuries-long campaign to eradicate Judaism, Appel argues persuasively that its secret content suggests it originally served as a tool for clandestine Jewish education. Writing in a rich style that draws on rabbinic literary forms, Appel has presented a landmark contribution to the field of Tarot studies-revealing that when we perceive the Tarot through a Jewish lens, we can, at long last, recognize the Torah hidden in the Tarot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Torah in the Tarot \u003cem\u003eincludes a booklet written by Stav Appel with a foreword by Ariana Reines, as well as a historically accurate, 78-card color reproduction of the Jean Noblet Tarot-the only modern copy that preserves the full scope of the deck's original Judaica-created by the French artist Florent Giraud of Tarotgraphe.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54793953182037,"sku":"9781961814301","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/4736\/5973\/files\/9781961814301.jpg?v=1788091007","url":"https:\/\/www.tarotshop.com\/sv\/products\/9781961814301","provider":"Tarotshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
