SUMMARY:The Torah in the Tarot
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 21\, 2025 \n12-1:30 p.m. EDT\n$18\n \n\nStep into a world where ancient Jewish wisdom hides in plain sight—painted into the mysterious images of Renaissance-era Tarot cards.\n \nAuthor Stav Appel invites you on a fascinating journey into his startling discovery: that the original Tarot de Marseille may have served as a covert tool for Jewish education during centuries when the Roman Catholic Church sought to erase Judaism from public life.\n \nThrough a Judaic lens\, even the 1650 Jean Noblet Tarot—one of the oldest surviving decks—reveals Hebrew letters\, Torah stories\, ritual objects\, and Jewish holy days woven into its imagery. These hidden connections challenge everything scholars and enthusiasts think they know about the history of Tarot. Join us as Stav shares insights from his forthcoming Ayin Press deck and booklet\, The Torah in the Tarot\, and decide for yourself: can the rituals and lore of Judaism truly be found within the cards?\n\n \nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \n\nStav Appel is a data scientist and a lifelong student of Torah. Earlier in his career he was the director of the Israeli-Palestinian coexistence organization Nitzanei Shalom\, and the director of International Service Programs for American Jewish World Service. He holds an MBA from the Yale School of Management and has studied Biblical Hebrew at Hebrew University and Yale Divinity School. \nAfter a chance encounter with an old deck of Tarot cards\, Stav began to explore the origins and meaning of the biblical references he recognized in its images. He is now a frequent speaker and popular writer on the Torah in the Tarot\, the lost and forgotten Judaic origins of the mysterious Tarot de Marseille. He currently resides in New Salem\, NY. Find Stav on Instagram @torah.tarot. \n\n
