SUMMARY:Jewish Superstitions and Folklore with Ellen Frankel PhD
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n(The Jewish Folk Torah) According to Jewish traditi
 on\, Jews are governed by two canonical texts: the Written Torah (the Five
  Books of Moses) and the Oral Torah (rabbinic writings including the Mishn
 ah\, Talmud\, and Responsa). Together these texts set out the 613 Commandm
 ents required of all observant Jews.\n\nHowever\, throughout the centuries
 \, a third Torah has also had a powerful influence on Jewish practice: the
  Folk Torah. This collection of traditions\, including folktales\, superst
 itions\, customs\, symbols\, and folk art has become so embedded in Jewish
  culture that rabbinic authorities have often had to rationalize their inc
 lusion in “official” Jewish practices in order to conceal their origin
 s in pagan\, Christian\, or secular sources.\n\nIn this course\, we will e
 xplore some of these folk traditions\, looking at the origins of key Jewis
 h symbols like the mezuzah\, the Star of David\, the numbers 4 and 12\, an
 d tefillin\; popular Jewish superstitions like kayna hora (the Evil Eye)\,
  poo-poo-poo\, red thread\, and knots\; basic Jewish folktale motifs\; and
  deep-rooted customs like eating dairy on Shavuot and covering mirrors dur
 ing shiva.\n\nNo Jewish background is required. No Hebrew necessary. Open 
 to all.\n\n\n\n\n
