About Course

Judaism’s ancient texts are filled with demons, spirits, mysterious creatures, and supernatural encounters — some frightening, some funny, and some surprisingly insightful.

In this four-week series, Rabbi Jennifer Singer explores the strange and colorful world of Jewish supernatural lore. Meet the demons who terrified the rabbis, the spirits who wandered ancient imaginations, and the fascinating personalities — both real and imagined — who populate Jewish tradition.

Along the way, we will discover what these stories reveal about fear, morality, human nature, and the spiritual imagination of our ancestors.
