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:
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
