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.
