re: “Ivri Script: Back to the Basics”

The video recording from A.S. Adler’s lecture last week is now available on YouTube:

The audio recording (which is probably higher quality than the video) is available at https://archive.org/details/IvriScript

On that page, you can two audio recordings: the shorter audio recording is of an earlier dry run practice session of the lecture, and the longer audio recording contains the entire actual lecture as delivered on Zoom (including the q&a afterwards). On the archive.org page you can also download the video that is on YouTube as an mp4 file and download the PDF file of Adler’s book to see his sources and the pictures that he references in the lecture. Soon, the archive.org page will have these files available in various multiple formats depending on your exact needs.
