The Meeting Tent

An initiative of Meru Foundation, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing the research of mathematician Stan Tenen.

A place to encounter a discovery that could change how humanity understands itself — and to support bringing it to the world.

The First Hand™ Model

A three-dimensional geometric form derived from the first verse of Genesis — and a map of human consciousness built into the structure of the hand.

In 1968, mathematician Stan Tenen recognized a pattern in the first verse of the Hebrew text of Genesis. Years of research revealed that the letters of that verse fold into a vortex-shaped form — a model of the human hand.

When placed on the hand, the First Hand™ model displays each letter of the Hebrew alphabet through a specific gesture, each corresponding to the letter's meaning. Unique, universal, and timeless — it is a meditative tool, a work of art, and a bridge between science and spirituality.

Currently in development. We are seeking partners to bring this extraordinary object to the world.

In Development

Kabbalah Cybercube

An interactive app that makes learning the Hebrew alphabet engaging and accessible — exploring each letter through meaning, geometry, and hand gesture.

Kabbalistic tradition teaches that each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is sacred, containing what we might call higher dimensional attributes. Kabbalah Cybercube is a fun, interactive, and inspiring way to explore those attributes.

Based on the geometric research of Stan Tenen, the app places all 27 letters on a 3×3×3 cube. Users fly through the cube and enter each letter's own room — where six walls reveal the letter's meaning, history, hand gesture, meditation, and more through film, research, and interactive graphics.

Currently in development. To learn more or support this project contact us at meruwest@gmail.com.

About

Meru Foundation

Meru Foundation is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1983. For over forty years, the Foundation was dedicated to supporting the geometric research of mathematician Stan Tenen (1935–2022), who spent his life investigating the mathematical structure of the Hebrew text of Genesis and its relationship to the Hebrew alphabet, human consciousness, and the nature of creation.

Stan's research represents one of the most extraordinary and least-known intellectual achievements of the twentieth century. The Meeting Tent is an initiative of Meru Foundation dedicated to preserving and sharing this work — and to bringing its two flagship products, the First Hand™ Model and Kabbalah Cybercube, to the world.
