What will we cover?
We will focus on words that they already know and their meanings: seraphim, ts'vaot - the Sabaoth of the Latin mass - names like Malchisedek, Avraham and Sarah.
All the letters were originally pictograms, so we will look at those. We will also focus on the interpretations attached to the words' numerical value, because the letters can also be used as numbers.
