Jewish tradition says that the world is filled with demons, ghosts, giants, angels, and creatures of all types. But contemporary Judaism downplays or rationalizes them away until they’re dusty metaphors. They won’t go away though. We can’t read Torah, Talmud or any Jewish source without being reminded. And they still have lessons to teach, whether we believe in them or not. In this session, we’ll start to piece together this legacy from original sources and contemporary scholars. And, hopefully, to learn more deeply what it means to be Jewish, to love Torah and to understand God. And to have a lot of fun fighting monsters. Or, at least, learning how.
