Judaism is replete with stories and traditions featuring all kinds of non-human entities that are often cataloged under the supposedly self-explanatory labels "angels" and "demons." But do Jews even believe in angels? And if so, why didn’t they teach me about this in Sunday school? In this course, we will have a look at some of the less-known beings that populate Jewish texts beginning with the Torah. For example, we will learn about the archangels – Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael – on the angelic side, and about Lilith and Asmodeus on the demonic side. We will have a look at how people attempted to protect themselves from demons and explore the Jewish concept of Satan and it’s development through the ages. We will even answer the age-old question – what does Satan do on Shabbos?

You do not need to have attended the previous Out of This World class to come to this class, but if you attended the previous class and enjoyed it, chances are you’d like this one too.
