SUMMARY:Jewish Superstitions and Folklore with Ellen Frankel PhD
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n(The Jewish Folk Torah) According to Jewish tradition\,
  Jews are governed by two canonical texts: the Written Torah (the Five Boo
 ks of Moses) and the Oral Torah (rabbinic writings including the Mishnah\,
  Talmud\, and Responsa). Together these texts set out the 613 Commandments
  required of all observant Jews.\n\nHowever\, throughout the centuries\, a
  third Torah has also had a powerful influence on Jewish practice: the Fol
 k Torah. This collection of traditions\, including folktales\, superstitio
 ns\, customs\, symbols\, and folk art has become so embedded in Jewish cul
 ture that rabbinic authorities have often had to rationalize their inclusi
 on in “official” Jewish practices in order to conceal their origins in
  pagan\, Christian\, or secular sources.\n\nIn this course\, we will explo
 re some of these folk traditions\, looking at the origins of key Jewish sy
 mbols like the mezuzah\, the Star of David\, the numbers 4 and 12\, and te
 fillin\; popular Jewish superstitions like kayna hora (the Evil Eye)\, poo
 -poo-poo\, red thread\, and knots\; basic Jewish folktale motifs\; and dee
 p-rooted customs like eating dairy on Shavuot and covering mirrors during 
 shiva.\n\nNo Jewish background is required. No Hebrew necessary. Open to a
 ll. All sessions will be held on Zoom.\n\nClick here for more information
