I have a print of an old French painting, showing Saint Anna teaching little Mary to read. Mary uses a Thora pointer (translated from the German word Thorazeiger), a stick with a small hand on its top. Can anybody tell me the Hebrew name of this cultic tool?

Mistral I got lots of Google hits using the term
Quote:
Thora pointer
but did not know what I was reading about except that Thora is maybe the first chapters of Gensis written by Moses but I am not sure if I am correct in that. And that the pointer was used as a guide to understand summarian or assriayn writing. If you can could you provide more informtion as I am no quite interested.

And a big welcome to A2k

You invented a phrase, hehe, and now I am on a quest for knowledge and a definition about it. Gotta love that.

@mistral,
So, at last - and 6 years later -, here's the answer by myself:

Thorapointer = Jad
