BIRS High School: Jewish Monsters and Magic

Jewish tradition is filled with creatures and magic of all types. To find them, we will engage with Torah, Talmud and later Jewish rabbinic writings that describe angels, demons, ghosts, giants, golems, vampires, dybbuks, and even unicorns! Along the way, we’ll touch on the Jewish magic tradition including amulets, charms, necromancy, and the great Jewish magic texts including "Sefer Yetzirah" and "The Sword of Moses." Taught by Jack Zaintz.

Nov 10 - Class 1: Demons & Lilith
Nov 17 - Class 2: Fallen Angels, Giants, and Unicorns
Dec 1 - Class 3: Ghosts and Dybbuks
Dec 8 - Class 4: Golems
