Next month I am offering my three class deep dive into the concealed Judaica of the Noblet Tarot via Beit Kohenet.

We will review every card of the Noblet Tarot and explore all 22 Hebrew letters, all of its concealed Torah stories, Judaic ritual objects, and Jewish holy days.

And we will place the concealed Judaica in the larger story of crypto-Judaism and the evolution of the Tarot.

As usual I will be very blunt as to what we know and do not know about the lost Judaic contribution to the history of the Tarot.

Remember all the serious Tarot historians will tell you that all of this Jewish stuff in the Tarot is entirely a fabrication of my wild imagination, so this will be a great opportunity to judge for yourself as to whether there is a secret Torah hidden in the Tarot.

No, you do not need to be Jewish to enroll in the course. Everyone welcome!

About The Torah in the Tarot:

For hundreds of years, the original meaning of the Tarot de Marseille, the artistic ancestor of the contemporary Tarot, has been a source of mystery, speculation, and debate. 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 aleph א, the Hermit wore a Jewish prayer shawl, and three pieces of matzah hid beneath the Moon. The meaning of these images became apparent when Appel learned that the deck was created circa 1650, during a centuries-long prohibition on Judaism in the Kingdom of France.

In The Torah in the Tarot, Appel carefully analyzes the Noblet Tarot, uncovering a rich array of Jewish symbols ingeniously concealed in its images. 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.

After meticulously studying one of the earliest and most influential tarot decks, author Stav Appel theorizes that the images on the cards weren’t recreational or occult in origin, but Jewish.
#Appel believes that Jewish artists encoded Hebrew letters, Biblical stories and ritual symbols into the imagery during times when Jews were persecuted.
His decade-long research challenges what we think we know about early tarot decks and asks us to see these cards as vessels of survival, memory and culture.

♥️🪽 In this week’s parsha, Jacob works hard for love. That’s because he knows the true message of The Lovers, that great partnerships require work and important choices. Okay, and maybe because he was tricked by Laban.

🃏 Torah in the Tarot by Stav Appel is based on a 17th-century deck made in France during a time when Jewry was banned. Was the Jean Noblet deck a secret vessel for Jewish education? Stav’s examples, of which there at least 5 on every Major Arcana card, will give you chills! 🤯

Happy Jewish Book Month! Shabbat Shalom
Stav Appel’s newly released The Torah in the Tarot features a moving foreword by the poet Ariana Reines. We’re excited to share that you can now read it on our digital column Otiyot.

“What I didn’t know till I encountered Stav Appel’s groundbreaking work,” Reines writes, “is that the Tarot doesn’t merely syncretize Kabbalah into a host of other knowledge systems. It may in fact be the Book of Books—but even better, because you can play with it like a child. / A scroll you can shuffle. A book that reads you. The Torah for real.”

Reines continues, “The Torah in the Tarot represents, it seems to me, the immanence of mystical time that is always alive within the nightmare of history. It is a document and a pedagogical object, but it is also a living book beyond time, and what it has to teach us is both obvious and not—an invitation for us to return to Zero, in all its fecundity, its obviousness, and its beguiling obscurity.”

Read Reines’s foreword and order the book at the link in bio.

About the author:

Ariana Reines is the author of The Rose (2025), Wave of Blood (2024), A Sand Book (2020), Mercury (2011), the Obie-winning play “Telephone” (2009), Coeur de Lion (2007), and The Cow (2006). She has created performances for Stuart Shave/Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Performance Space NY, and many others. In 2020, while a divinity student at Harvard, she founded Invisible College, a hub for the study of sacred texts and poetry online. She lives in New York, NY.
