The Worst Use of Hebrew Ever?
What are you going to get this Christmas for that biblical studies student or professor who already has everything? Say hello to PraiseMoves Alphabetics:
Move through the Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet during this unique workout. Laurette has created 22 postures which beautifully mirror these ancient characters.
Several workouts complete the video – Psalm 119 and Proverbs 31.
Both of these are acrostic passages of Scripture. An acrostic is a poem or psalm in which each sentence begins with a certain letter. In Psalm 119, the longest psalm, every 8 verses begin with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet - in order alef through tav.
Likewise, the last 22 verses of Proverbs 31 (verses 10-31, about the Virtuous Woman), follow the same progression alef through tav, each verse beginning with a different letter.
Bonus Section: The Lord’s Prayer Scripture Sequence in English AND Hebrew!
You certainly don’t have to understand Hebrew to enjoy this PraiseMoves workout!

And the worst bastardization of yoga as well!
Frank,
I think it’s been well-established by multiple commenters here that YOGA IS FROM DE DEBBIL.
“Worst bastardization,” you say? I say “best sanctification.”
Oh crap, now you tell me. I’m all stretchtastic and everything!
C’mon guys, get off her case – after all, isn’t this why Jesus went through the unspeakable cosmic horror of the crucifixion event – so that we could use the religion started in his name to create multiple small business opportunities and produce more and more useless and embarrassing crap?
This kind of entrepreneurial spirit is what will save America from the GFC (and maybe the SBL as well!)
there’s now a qumran hebrew version that introduces a new position: curl up in a ball four times to make the 4 dots that take the place of the tetragrammaton.
but beware: after doing the qumran poses, some scholars show up and say you’re not really from where you think you’re from…
Lol, nice… maybe they can incorporate that in part two along with the Masoretic pointing!
How can you be in two places at once
When you’re not anywhere at all?
Cool!
