Cantillation marks

Cantillation marks are symbols used in Hebrew texts to guide the chanting or singing of scriptures. They indicate how to pause, emphasize, or connect words, helping reciters convey meaning, emotion, and structure during reading. Think of them as musical notes or punctuation that shape the flow of the sacred text, ensuring it is read with proper tone and rhythm. These marks provide a traditional framework, preserving the oral interpretation and spiritual essence of the scripture across generations.
