The Font of Revelation: Evolution of Hebrew Scripts
Torah script, called Ashurit, did not exist at the time tradition places the revelation of Torah at Sinai. The earliest Hebrew scripts are actually unrecognizable to Hebrew readers today. This class explores the development of Hebrew scripts, from pictograph to alphabet, as well as how the rabbis of the Talmud dealt with the historical conundrum of the holy script.
As always, there will be bagels and coffee!
