Dear colleagues,
From the Adventures in Jewish Studies podcast series from the Association for Jewish Studies
While the Talmud famously forbids sorcery, Jewish history is full of examples of what many today might refer to as "magic." In this episode, host Erin Phillips and guest scholars Sara Ronis, Marla Segol, and Michael Swartz take us on a spellbinding journey to discover magic's role in Jewish history as they discuss Jewish magical rituals and artifacts, angelology and demonology, and the evolution of magical practices in Judaism.
Episode 6 of Past Imperfect features Priya Atwal, Community History Fellow at Oxford University and author of Royals and Rebels: The Rise and Fall of the Sikh Empire (2020).
