Gentle Safraniyot and Safranim, Our cantor is teaching an introduction to torah cantillation, using the traditional hand signals, a.k.a. cheironomy. She would like a visual guide to the various hand signs but I haven't been able to find one, even in the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia's extensive article on cantillation. I've checked Idelsohn and Jacobson but no luck.
Any leads of where to find such a thing or should we video the class and be the first? Many thanks, Liza Stabler Elizabeth F. Stabler Librarian Ivan M.
