some of my favorite illuminated Hebrew from the Sefer Etz Hayim, an 18th century work on Lurianic Kabbalah, featuring some of the most elaborate tagin i’ve ever seento get personal for a moment, i feel absolutely transported looking at this. the sense of awe (and sort of a…peaceful comfort?) that i get from looking at Hebrew calligraphy is hard to describe or compare to anything else. Judaism’s emphasis on & respect for the power & beauty of language (whether written or spoken) is one of the things i identify most strongly with in my own spirituality. i suspect @jewishhenna may feel similarly! if i ever get the chance to study with a sofer i’ll be overjoyed.  -- source link
