THE MYSTICAL LETTERS OF THE ALEPH-BET with Rabbi Hannah Laner via Zoom @ P'nai Or of Portland
Nov 19 @ 4:30 pm – 5:45 pm

According to our sacred tradition, the holy letters of the aleph-bet were used to bring the world into being. Through stories and teachings from Kabbalah (ancient mystical interpretations of Torah) and Midrash (ancient commentaries on the Torah), we will explore how these letters infuse our Torah and liturgy with deep, rich meaning. Please join us on this journey to delve into the inner meanings of each individual letter that make up the words of our sacred writings.

No prior knowledge of Hebrew is needed to take this class.
