Another Master Class from Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky

Today the agenda of the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy featured a master-class of Avraham-Hersh Borshevsky, devoted to the kosher calligraphy.

According to the master, in Kabbalah sacred calligraphy is regarded as the expression of Moses’ mystical revelation encoded in twenty-two letter-schemes reflecting the interaction of the 10 higher spheres.

A kosher letter may be written only with inks, and can be neither engraved, applied nor printed. This is one out of many rules, which a calligrapher should follow to make his calligraphy truly kosher.

Mr. Borshevsky was so bright and interesting telling about kosher calligraphy, that even an hour after the end of his master-class a crowd of people asking thousands of questions closed up on him. This fact proves that people accept calligraphy as a true art and crave opportunities to learn more about it.
