Stav Appel is a data sci­en­tist and a life­long stu­dent of Torah. Ear­li­er in his career he was the direc­tor of the Israeli-Pales­tin­ian coex­is­tence orga­ni­za­tion Nitzanei Shalom, and the direc­tor of Inter­na­tion­al Ser­vice Pro­grams for Amer­i­can Jew­ish World Ser­vice. He holds an MBA from the Yale School of Man­age­ment and has stud­ied Bib­li­cal Hebrew at Hebrew Uni­ver­si­ty and Yale Divin­i­ty School. 

After a chance encounter with an old deck of Tarot cards, Stav began to explore the ori­gins and mean­ing of the bib­li­cal ref­er­ences he rec­og­nized in its images. He is now a fre­quent speak­er and pop­u­lar writer on the Torah in the Tarot, the lost and for­got­ten Juda­ic ori­gins of the mys­te­ri­ous Tarot de Mar­seille. He cur­rent­ly resides in North Salem, NY. Find Stav on Insta­gram @torah.tarot.
