Meanwhile, Istehar has married three wives of Moonstone—a brave warrior librarian, a subtle-minded former concubine, and a tenacious apothecary who has spent years trying to solve her parents' murder.

When Torah student Stav Appel encountered the Jean Noblet Tarot, one of the oldest preserved known versions of the Tarot de Marseille, he found something curious: the Magician held his arms in the shape of the Hebrew letter \u003cem\u003ealeph\u003c\/em\u003e א, the Hermit wore a Jewish prayer shawl, and three pieces of matzah hid beneath the Moon.

Given the deck's origin during the Catholic Church’s campaign to abolish Judaism, Appel argues persuasively that its secret content suggests it originally served as a tool for clandestine Jewish education. Writing in a rich style that draws on rabbinic literary forms, Appel has presented a landmark contribution to the field of Tarot studies—revealing that when we perceive the Tarot through a Jewish lens, we can, at long last, recognize the Torah hidden in the Tarot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e \u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Torah in the Tarot \u003cem\u003eincludes a booklet written by Stav Appel with a foreword by Ariana Reines, as well as a historically accurate, 78-card color reproduction of the Jean Noblet Tarot—the only modern copy that preserves the full scope of the deck’s original Judaica—created by the French artist Florent Giraud of Tarotgraphe.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e \u003c!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"10px\"} --\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:spacer --\u003e \u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e \u003c!-- wp:paragraph --\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStav Appel\u003c\/strong\u003e is a data scientist and a lifelong student of Torah.
