(Jewish Telegraphic Agency) A new museum exhibit at the Hebrew Union College admits on the one hand that the occult has always been an integral part of Judaism while at the same time claiming that the rabbis forbid it — a prime example of Jewish double-think and dissemblance:
If you take the Torah’s word for it — not to mention generations of rabbinical literature — astrology, witchcraft, ghost-busting and the like are expressly forbidden in Judaism, and have no place in Jewish practice or culture.
And yet, as the current exhibit at the Dr. Bernard Heller Museum at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion highlights, the occult has always been an integral part of Judaism — and continues to be today.
“In every civilization there’s evidence of belief in superstition, mystical characters that can both protect and harm or rituals that can ward off evil,” Jeanie Rosensaft, the museum’s director, told the New York Jewish Week. “It’s just a fascinating thing, and we wanted to investigate.”
For the exhibit “Magical Thinking: Superstitions and Other Persistent Notions,” Rosensaft and her curatorial team put out an open call to hundreds of contemporary Jewish artists for artwork exploring Jewish superstitions. The result showcases the work of more than 50 artists in a range of mediums — including oils, watercolors, acrylics, collage, paper cuts, multimedia and photographs.
From hamsas [the symbol of an eye embedded in the palm of an open hand] to “the menstrual slap,” the artworks grapple intimately with Jewish practices that have been both painstakingly preserved across the generations and, at the same time, discounted as merely “old wives’ tales.”
Taken as a whole, however, the aesthetic diversity of the pieces reflect the complicated reality of Jewish tradition: encompassing many varying and sometimes opposing perspectives that nonetheless remain in conversation.
Inspired by the exhibit, which is on view through Jan. 5, 2023, the New York Jewish Week chatted with Rosensaft, participating artists and other scholars in the field of Jewish material culture and demonology about the place of the occult in Jewish culture, both past and present. They helped us debunk five critical misconceptions.
One of Rosensaft’s favorite quotes from the 13th-century Sefer Chasidim — an ethical and legal guide to Jewish daily life in medieval Germany — perhaps best encapsulates Judaism’s true approach to the occult: “One should not believe in superstitions, but still it is best to be heedful of them.”
In other words, just because the Torah prohibits belief and participation in the occult, that doesn’t mean that you should look a gift golem in the mouth.
According to Sara Ronis, author of the recent book “Demons in the Details: Demonic Discourse and Rabbinic Law in Late Antique Babylonia,” the supernatural has actually long been a meaningful and powerful element of Jewish life. “Many Ashkenazi Jews today have an understanding of Judaism as highly rational, scientific and spiritual more than material,” she told the New York Jewish Week. “That understanding emerges out of particular conditions of 19th-century western Europe, and is an important part of Jewish history. But it’s not the only part.”
“[Even] the rabbis of the Talmud recognized that the world was filled with phenomena beyond their understanding,” she added, “and demons and other intermediary beings play important roles in rabbinic narrative and law.”
The truth is, from the first mention of the demon Lilith in the Book of Isaiah to the red strings sold at the Western Wall today — presumably to ward off ayin hara, or the evil eye — the occult has a long history in Judaism…
When illustrator Steve Marcus received the exhibit prompt, he immediately thought of the widespread belief that tattooed Jews could not be buried in a Jewish cemetery. That’s what inspired his piece in the exhibition, “Consequences,” which depicts a heavily tattooed man in a kippah, crying.
The truth is, while the Torah does include a proscription against tattoos (Leviticus 19:28 states: “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the LORD”), it does not actually prevent Jews from being buried with their community.
“The misconceptions I wanted to convey in this piece are beyond superstition,” Marcus told the New York Jewish Week. “No matter what kind of Jew one is and what choices they have made, they are Jewish. They are Jewish regardless of race, whether they’re kosher or shomer Shabbat or if they are tattooed or not…”
Rabbis give merely lip service to the Torah — the actual Bible — which clearly proscribes any form of the occult or idolatry — prohibited by the first and second Commandments — which tells us just how important these prohibitions were to God.
The Jewish “holy” book, The Talmud, specifically condones occult practices, including sacrificing their children to idols:
“He who gives of his seed to Molech incurs no punishment.” (Sanhedrin 64a)
“It is permitted to consult by a charm the spirits of oil and eggs, and make incantations” (Sanhedrin 101a)
That is why marriages to members pagan tribes were strictly forbidden to real Israelites — who knew that such unions would lure them into occult practices — and take them away from worshiping the only one true God.
Judaism is not based on the Torah because Judaism is not the faith of the Israelites of the Old Testament — contrary to what most Christians have been led to believe.
Judaism is based on the Talmud, which has its foundations in the occult oral traditions that some apostate Israelites fell into while in exile in Babylon — that’s why there is a “Babylonian Talmud.”
These are to so-called corrupt “oral traditions” practiced by the Pharisees who sought to kill Christ for rebuking him for adhering to these false teachings.
Yes, the occult is an integral part of Judaism — meaning that there is no Judaism without its occult foundations — the two are inseparable.
In fact, Freemasonry is admittedly based on many of the occult practices of Judaism — so much so that the Jewish Tribune newspaper declared in 1927, “Freemasonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic ritual and what is left?“
Every rabbi studies the occult Kabbalah and the Zohar — which impart hidden “mysteries” not revealed by the Torah or even the Talmud.
The Bible doesn’t just forbid occult practices — in reality, the Bible forbids the practice of Judaism whose very foundations are a negation of the Bible and the actual words of God.

Also during the covid psy ops scam of psychological warfare the amount of occult neumerology use like in phrases with 3 words like hands face space make up the occult 3, then you have the 6 feet social distance, the occult 6. Also when they said you could have 3 people round your house, the occult 3. Occult symbolism is done via hand signs like hand over 1 eye. The triangle hand sign as the symbol on the Israeli flag is not a star but 2 opposing overlapping triangles forming a hexagram and 6 smaller triangles, so the flag of Israel is occult. Their claim of it being Star of David is false, he never used it as his symbol. This is an example as to how a planned event acts as a sacrifice and occult meaning GRENFELL TOWER SATANIC FIRE RITUAL HAPPENED JUNE 13 ISRAEL YEAR OF 58 – FATHERS DAY ATTACK WARNING

You see the one eye which many people do by covering one eye, then you have devil horns the way it’s done via hand sign is middle 2 fingers closed while the other 2 are open forming devil horn. You have the owl symbol on bohemian grove, the way it’s done in hand sign is form a 6 hand sign with both hands put over your eyes.

No one ever said, “the occult has always been an integral part of Christianity.”
Yet we are to believe that Christianity is based on Judaism.
Right.
LisetteBXL
@Moore,
That is a great point. From my understanding Christianity fought against this superstition of Jews for centuries….and the old testament and a new testament also tells a story. If Judaism is the oldest religion (god chosen) it means that Christian broke away from the cult of death and destruction and dropped all the superstitions. It clarified that man was much more than flesh, and the hokuspokus sitting around practicing religion and expecting everything to come falling from the sky, all play, no work.
The spirituality in Christianity tamed the beast which is part of human nature, and this overcoming the temptations of the flesh brought prosperity to Christian nations, while Jews did nothing but indulged in quick fixes…”we struggle with God and justice”….engaged in wickedness, corruption without remorse, no conscience.
They want no hard labor, others need to be their slave. Christians used their talents and created western civilization….Jews did not. Christians no longer have this can-do attitude which is the essence of Christianity, but that’s what I believe to be the difference, and also the genesis of the envy that Jews have for Christians.
I may be wrong, but that’s what my gut tells me…..
Jas
Christianity did not “break away” from Judaism, because Judaism is not the faith of the Old Testament.
Judaism was codified AFTER Christianity, as a reaction against it.
Yes, Judaism, or Phariseeism, is a newer religion than Christianity.
Judaism can trace its origins in Babylon, and was passed down only as an oral tradition until it began to be codified after the destruction of the Temple in 70AD.
Christ rebuked the Pharisees for practicing these oral babylonian “traditions of the elders”.
These oral traditions are the basis of the occult Talmud.
Rabbis admit that Judaism came together as we know it today around 200AD.
It is NOT an Abrahamic religion.
The only true Abrahamic religion left is Christianity.
Judaism is self-worshiping paganism disguised under a veneer of Torah as a smoke screen.
LisetteBXL
@Jas,
Point taken. If Christianity did not break away from Judaism and was codified as a reaction to it, Christian nations have not only deceived their own populations but the world at large by creating the oldest religion myth. Christians and Jews became partners in crime after the Jews were expelled from the Catholic Kingdoms Spain and Portugal .
Christians fought wars for the Jews against the Holy Empire (Germany). Christian nations embraced the anti-Christian religion of Karl Marx and all Christian churches preach the “Jews are god’s chosen people” stuff, that is supposedly in the old testament to this day, in Europe and America aka Judeo-Christian culture.
What I always find interesting, is the people who claim to be Christian calling me anti-semite in defense of the Jews, simply because if my opinion. I have not heard one Christian rebuke the Jews who advocate genocide and destruction of White countries, to the contrary, they even support the agenda of the Jews, which enables them to run amok….this is just one example of Jews trashing White males and it is normalized, https://youtu.be/pSkQjm-t2Jk
Chaplain Bob Walker
I am actually looking forward to zionist church goers getting their chance to get their heads cut off or DENY JESUS under the Noahide laws when a rabid rabbi offers to send them to Jesus heaven via death.
Jesus said Luke 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
I am certain when the Rabbis, TV preachers and their missing the “pre trib rapture” almost all will deny Jesus as a false messiah.
take your 666 mark fools that they are for blessing those who hate and curse Christ.
Kerry
Chaplain Bob, instead of looking forward to the brutal death of evangelical Christians, why don’t you pray that they will come out of their strong delusion and repent of their false teachings? Isn’t that how a real Christian would feel toward their misguided white brethren? We’ve all been misled at one time or another, no?
West
Kerry ……
Were you aware that Bob was replying to a comment?
Did you also take into account that Bob had prayed in earnest for those people for years?
My own flesh and blood family is part of that “heap” that Paul speaks of to Timothy, who in their false belief and their inaction, usher in our demise. There comes a time when they become our enemies. Yes, we pray for them — like hot burning coals on their heads. There is such a thing as Righteous Hatred.
Maybe if more judeo-christians understood WHY we have such a Righteous hatred for them — they may consider for a moment that they actually walk the broad road rather than the narrow. Christians in general, for the past half century, have been too nice; too tolerant; too “loving”. Love should be painful as much as it is comforting.

– The Jews do not worship God, they worship Mammon (money), Karl Marx’ Das Kapital evidences this thoroughly.
– Strange cognitive dissonance, that conspiracy theorists on the “satanic alien/demon child-eating occultist cabal” network, will overtly state “Kabbalistic occult magic”, but nobody ever makes the connection to Judaism. Cognitive dissonance.
– The Kabbalah apparently is where the Blood Rite comes from.
– The Jews also run pornography & are notorious perverts because of the ridiculous things the Talmud says, and a big part of occultism is “sex magick”– hence, the Jews created all this “mushing your genitals together for 7 hours is how you can be at one with the Universe” sex-religion malarkey, and the Khazars were phallus worshippers.

‘Oddities of the Jewish Religion’ by Ron Unz: ‘…up until very recent times, the lives of religious Jews were often dominated by all sorts of highly superstitious practices, including magical charms, potions, spells, incantations, hexes, curses, and sacred talismans, with rabbis often having an important secondary role as sorcerers, and this even remains entirely true today among the enormously influential rabbis of Israel and the New York City area.’

“Western Man Is So Easily Led Astray, That Is Why Christ Called Us Sheep”
“We must understand this phenomenon; William the Conqueror, and his government were ostensibly Christian, just like Judeo-Christianity is today in this country. Baal doesn’t care what you call your country or what you think your prominent religion is. Call it Judeo-Cbhristianity if you want just don’t call it Baal! That was the way it was in England.
The Christian community fought back and for the most part, they used Christian Principles doing it. It ended with the Magna Carta in 1215, “A brilliant document,” everyone says. But nothing happened! The Kings at the time did just like what is done in Washington today. They made “end runs” around the will of the people Baal was still there. Finally, the Christian community had enough of it. They ordered King Edward to expel the Baal money lenders 1290 A.D.
But that still didn’t destroy the Baal system in England. The governments of England have never rescinded that 1290 expulsion order but Oliver Cromwell simply brought them back in! The Christian people of England finally reaalized what Cromwell had done but not until after his death. They dug up his skeleton and hung his bones on a scaffold, just to show their resentment and disgust at that Baal system.
But Baal still retained its power. Because they were being oppressed for their beliefs, just like they are today. Christians fled to the colonies now known as the United States to escape the system. But King George III sent the system over here, along with his governors and troops to enforce it. If you read the Declaration of Independence carefully you will see the resentment and resistance to the Baal system.
The American Revolution was to be the end of Baal, as far as we were concerned. We won our freedom and we started a system which was very similar to the Saxon England before William the Conqueror. It has been said that not must minimum government, but no government except God’s Laws, is the only way that Christians can live in “The Way” which Christ taught. That is about the way it was during that short period in this newlyfounded country.
—-
The Baal system followed. That system brught to these peaceful towns their “Philadelphis Lawyers” who brought with themt heir bag of Baal, Talmudic laws. Most people would just pack up and move further West!
We will use the Medieval period in Eyurope as the last example of fighting the Baal system. It was the most powerful example of what happens when Christians exert themselves in support of Christ’s values.: [More]:

Judaism, has no knowledge of God, as The Lord Himself testified;-
They will expel you from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is doing a holy service to God. They will do these things because they have never known either the Father or me. But I have told you all this, so that when the time for it comes you may remember that I told you. I did not tell you this from the beginning, because I was with you; but now I am going to the one who sent me.” John 16:1-5
So, without the Knowledge of God, whatever has remained in Judaism is pure Occultism.

Yom kippur is on 10 / 05 this wednesday I know the kol nidrei prayer jews do to ask their god the devil for a pass on the evil they will do for the next year to non jews. Does anyone have more info about that and why do they say the story about Jonah and the whale I know they change it to jonah is good because he did not speak bad of jews ? info of this jewish evil bs would be good for all to know.
JB
Don’t know more about Jonah…
What do you want on Kol Nidre, James?
james
I’m not sure, but thanks JB. If people knew this like discrediting people on the witness chair, how could a non jew trust a jew. It seems under reported or known like much about jews.
JB
I don’t think many ‘normies’ know about it yet… Yet another strange Jewish custom and belief that any discussion of is suppressed. Any Jew who says the prayer CANNOT BE TRUSTED. More evidence of the existence of the Synagogue of Satan…It is up to us sheepdogs to tell the flock about it to protect them from the wolves.
America/Europe are Israel
