Penina will introduce the history of the Hebrew scripts/alphabet – in a quite preliminary way. There are some interesting theories about how the name YHWH came to be.

Mostly we want to provide a platform for our amazing group, which has been meeting nearly every month for 5 years, to get together and talk text in our usual heart-centered way.

Penina Weinberg is an independent Hebrew bible scholar whose study and teaching focus on the intersection of power, politics and gender in the Hebrew Bible. She has run workshops for Nehirim and Keshet and has been teaching Hebrew bible for 10 years. She has written in Tikkun and HBI blog, and is the leader and founder of Ruach HaYam.
