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:

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
