In calligraphy by the author. Folktales
about and exploration of the mystical meanings of the Hebrew
Alphabet. Open the old prayerbook-like pages of The Book of Letters and
you will enter a special world of sacred tradition and
religious feeling.
More than just symbols, all twenty-two
letters of the Hebrew alphabet overflow with meanings and
personalities of their own. Rabbi Kushner draws from ancient
Judaic sources, weaving Talmudic commentary, Hasidic folktales,
and Kabbalistic mysteries around the letters.
"A book which is in love with Jewish
letters." —Isaac Bashevis
