THE TORAH

IN THE TAROT

Is a Secret Torah Hidden in the Tarot?


with Stav Appel, moderated by Rabbi Jill Hammer, PhD — Sunday October 26, 7 pm ET via Zoom

Stav Appel is a data scientist and a lifelong student of Torah who has deciphered Hebrew letters, Torah stories, Judaic ritual objects and Jewish holy days hidden in one of the oldest preserved decks of Tarot cards. 

Given that the Tarot was created shortly after the expulsion of Spanish Jewry, its secret content suggests it was originally used as a tool for clandestine Jewish education.  The recognition of Torah systematically hidden in the Tarot completely shatters the current popular and academic understanding of the history of the Tarot.

This event will be moderated by Rabbi Jill Hammer, PhD, and will feature Stav’s presentation of his groundbreaking thesis. Join us on Sunday, October 26 at 7 pm ET via Zoom to decide for yourself if the Tarot's greatest secret has been hiding in plain sight for over 400 years.

Though live attendance is encouraged, this event will be recorded, so you can rewatch it at a later time if you cannot attend live. For financial assistance, please contact liviah@beitkohenet.org.

Registration is now closed for this event.
