You Shall Not Suffer a Sorceress to Live: Witchcraft & Magic in the Bible and Its World
Sunday, February 7, 2021 • 25 Sh'vat 5781
11:00 AM - 12:00 PMWitchcraft and Magic are not the first things that come to mind when thinking about the Bible, yet each of these provocative topics is an essential part of some of the Bible's most familiar lessons and stories. Join us for a fun, engaging hour as we study some often overlooked tidbits of ancient Israelite customs, biblical text, stories and laws in light of the ancient contemporary environment.
Presented by Sharon Keller who earned her PhD at the NYU Dept of Hebrew & Judaic Studies in Bible and the Ancient Near East. She is on the Classics faculty at Hofstra and has been an Assistant Professor at JTS and Hebew Union College. Her most popular book, Jews: A Treasury of Art and Literature, was awarded the National Jewish Book Award. Sharon is known for her enthusiasm and humor and for making otherwise estoteric subjects easily accessible!
