While the Bible contains clear prohibitions against the use of divination, witchcraft, and other forms of occult practices, the actual lived experience (and literature) of Judaism is replete with demons, witches, magic spells, and of course, golems. In this talk, Peter Bebergal will present a lively overview of Jewish magic and the supernatural from Biblical, Talmudic, and Midrashic sources, magical grimoires, and folktales to uncover a treasure trove of legends and stories, from the summoning of demons to build mighty temples to the folk magic of ordinary people.
