President Barack Obama Wins Re-election. Congratulations
As a scribe or a 'soferet', I wondered where the name Barack came from.
If you had been reading the Bible, Barak is an ancient Hebrew name meaning to bless, to kneel ,
a gift, a blessing. In some instances it meant lightning.
Jeff Benner has a website and it has tour for Hebrew origins. I found a Hebrew Alphabet Chart which is of interest to calligraphers.
From the West Coast ,it was a SHORT night after all. Governor Romney who put up a good fight gracefully conceded.
P.S. For those following this blog, I've not finished writing about the pieces of Kalligraphia 13.
