Kavanah Cards are colorful judaica art and tools for spirituality practice. Each set of 22 double sided full-color originals has a focal word for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet, along with translation. Order a set now for only $30. Three or more sets cost only $25 each.
Kavanah means focus, directed mindfulness, and intentionality. Each of these 22 Kavanah Cards (one for each letter
of the Hebrew alphabet)
features a hand-lettered Hebrew focal word and its English translation with a vivid painting.
The reverse side is a painted miniature with a hand-lettered text highlighting the same Hebrew letter, celebrating ever-flowing blessings and enhancing our sense of gratitude. The text side includes the highlighted letter's gematria, the Jewish mystical system of assigning each Hebrew letter a numerical equivalent.
Kavanah Cards are full color, two-sided, with rounded edges, each about the size of a business
card. They are laminated, so no need to worry about spilling grape juice on them. Each set comes
with 8 stands, and more are available if you'd like to display your entire set. Also available are
magnetic frames to display your daily Kavanah Card on your refrigerator or file cabinet. Find all of
this on the accessories page.

Each set is in a beautiful hand-sewn bag created by
MarketPlace of India's expert artisans.
Marketplace is a dynamic empowerment project through which its seamstresses support their
families; by participating in the coop's management they also learn leadership and management
skills. I am excited to be able to help these women support themselves and their families.
According to Mainmonides, this is the highest form of
tsedakah:
helping people to become self-supporting. Thank you for helping me help them!

More an attitude than a skill, this consciousness reflects a focus on living in the world, blending thought and life experience.Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson
