“The Ineffable”

Abstract

In Jewish tradition, text living and words have power. According to Jewish mystics, correctly uttering the seventy-two-part unspeakable name of God can animate a golem. Be warned – it is also said to cause immediate death an impure speaker. The correct pronunciation this ancient name is lost. In “The Ineffable,” animate Hebrew letters and vowels struggle reconstruct this name, but only in the close presence of humans viewing their effort.
