Victoria Hanna’s New Video Will Make You Fall In Love With Hebrew

By Lior Zaltzman September 11, 2015

Israeli musician Victoria Hanna has a new music video, and it’s just as magical as her previous one.

I mean, first of all, it’s Kabbalistic rap, so you know it’s awesome and original. But beyond that that, it’s based on Sefer Yetzira (The Book of Formation/Creation), which is attributed to the patriarch Abraham.

In “22 Letters” — as in the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which are showcased in beauty calligraphy through-out the video — Victoria Hanna breathes light and life into the Hebrew language, with the help of Hebrew texts and catchy beats.

Watch this video to fall in love with Hebrew letters, Jewish mysticism, and well, with Victoria Hanna:
