I was so impressed with this book I would wake up in the middle of the night and want to read more sections of it. It has given me a strong desire to learn more about the Hebrew alphabet and what relevance it has in understanding the nature of the true Master of the Universe!

Very interesting book, full of wisdom and revelations.We highly recommend this book for all those who want to know about Hebrew letters.

What if you had the chance for all of your dreams, as easy as A-B-C, or should I say A-B-D, to come true? Read above the pages - this book is worth it. If you want to learn Hebrew, this book will give you such a closeness to the letters, the hard parts of learning this language will remove the blockage. If you want greater insight into the secrets of life, and how to make life doable - PURCHASE THIS BOOK! If you are a serious scholar related to this area, read and make this book a part of your library.

This book is very helpul in gaining a personal and deeper understanding of this "creation lanuge." I have found it simply profound - meaning for the complexties it covers, it is put in such a written word that I found it easy to understand and relate to our world of today.

The Hebrew Alphabet is rich in both heritage and meaning. Every letter has special meaning. Rabbi Munk brings this out in a way that will bring light to torah and bible study. May your study be blessed as you open the hidden, and reveal a new demsion in God's word.

The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet, published by Artscroll, is a treasure trove of interesting & helpful insights related to the walk of Faith, whether Jewish or Christian. As I absorbed the authors insights & found them resonating with other insights I have gleaned from the Scriptures & Bibliacl numerology, I was pleased to have obtained it. Great book!

Though written from a Non Christian perspective, this book offers detailed insight for the Christian and Jew alike. It is a staple for the library of anyone serious about understanding God's perspective via His medium of the Hebrew Alef Beit in His Holy Writ.

A very compresive book re: the Hebrew Alphabet, I highly recommend it.

I bought The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet because I am studying Hebrew and thought it might help me get the alphabet more ingrained in my thinking; and, because I have had a strong conviction for sometime that there is something mysterious and wonderful about the Hebrew alphabet. I could not have known how right my hunch was.

After beginning to read the book, I decided I had to buy it for my Father; then, a separate one for my Mother (she kept stealing his); my brother; and at my dad's request a spare one that he could have to give away.

The author has a wonderful way of presenting a historical perspective on the structure and sounds of the Hebrew letters; while also presenting the religious and cultural considerations.

Being a Christian, I have found it especially wonderful. I didn't realize that many of the concepts related by Jesus and the other writers in the New Testament were dealt with at length by the Scribes and Rabbis in sacred writings other than the Torah, Books of Wisdom and the Prophets. This book uses references to those writings (as well as those included in our Old Testament) to explain the importance and nuances of meaning of the letters. This adds so much meaning for me to some of the things Jesus said and did: I'm truly amazed at how many of the things that seemed a little odd, actually have a reason behind them.

This book cannot just simply be read in a sitting. I find myself going over and over the chapters; gleaning something new each time. Actually, I have yet to get through even a chapter in one sitting. And, has it helped my grasp of the Hebrew language? It really has! To know that each letter is made up of parts, and to have word pictures to remember the letters by...makes it so much easier to remember the shapes and sounds.

I do wish the author had put the Transliteration along with the actual translation when he uses the Hebrew phrases. I love the phrases; and, their meaning. But, I'm not skilled enough with the Hebrew to be able to sound them all out, and I would like to "hear" the Hebrew as well as read the translation of it. Perhaps, that makes an online version with audio a valid option in the future.

My Father also expressed this as something he wishes it contained. That is the reason I gave it a 4. In concept, content and presentation, The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet is certainly excellent. This is it's only flaw, I think, if you can call it a flaw.

If you want to know the true biblical roots of creation and the history or G_ds alpabet this is an xcellent read. This book is not intend to bea Summser Sunday afternoon read. It's the kind of book to be used a life long reference. Use the rest of the month to meditate and reread what Munk has written. If you like do a new letter every 2 weeks. You can go back to any letter anytime. This bookj should be an omgoing read for your spiritual life.

Very exciting book full of details that help non-Jews understand the Tora writting.
I recomand the book to anyone wanting a fuller understanding of the old testament.

Going over the Hebrew Alphabet, Rabbi Munk offers more than enlightening insights about these letters of divine origin

He makes many observations about the reason why every letter was created, why it has that particular shape and orientation and how it communicates with the physical and spiritual realms as well as with other letters

It also makes many related references citing Midrashic (Torah interpretations), Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) sources

Although the book follows a definite structure, one letter, one chapter, the extent and depth of the explanations for every letter go quite different as letters are indeed different too

I conclude that this is not a book to read just one time because one is interested in this particular subject but a reference volume worth to be consulted many times, in any library of any University for the purpose of religious studies and research
