Torah and the Tarot with Stav Appel

on Zoom

Stav Appel is a NY-based Torah scholar and a proponent of the theory that the original symbolic template of the Tarot de Marseille contains a secret depiction of traditional Judaism.

When the oldest known version of the Tarot de Marseille – the Jean Noblet of 1650 – is perceived through a Judaic lens of understanding, it is revealed to contain Hebrew letters, Judaic ritual objects, Torah stories and Jewish holy days.

Given that the Noblet Tarot was created more than two hundred years after the 1394 exile of France’s Jewish community, the presence of Judaica in the cards suggests they may have been used as a tool for clandestine Jewish continuity.

Recognizing a Judaic presence in the cards calls for a refreshed understanding of the history of the Tarot and its longtime association with Occult Kabbalah.

In this presentation Stav will review examples of Judaica concealed in the Noblet Tarot and together we will discuss and explore the ramifications of these new findings.

Skeptical and critical comments are warmly welcomed.
