Writing the Letters

rachelcat

Can anyone recommend a book (a children's book is ok!) on how to write the individual Hebrew letters? Not being able to write them in a way that I can distinguish them later is really slowing down my kabbalah studying. Plus I have no idea if I am doing it right!

I saw a thread in the index about this, but the link didn't work, so I'm asking again.

Thanks very much for any info.

Search for hebrew calligraphy on google will provide many links, with references to books.

Some basic introduction to the letters online:

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much! Calligraphy was the word I was missing with my searches. The sites are very informative by showing various fonts. Wow, no wonder there's no easy answer to this question. So much seems to depend on the correct forming of the letters. This is a great help. Thanks again!
