Angels and Demons in Jewish Tradition: Stories of the Spiritual Realm
This 8-session class meets on Tuesdays, February 4 – March 25, 2025
What do angels and demons really do in Jewish tradition? Early Torah texts offer a simple view: angels are God’s messengers. Later Jewish texts in the Talmud and Midrash bring us a more vivid and complex picture. In this engaging class, we’ll uncover the stories of archangels who carry out divine orders and mischievous demons who upend human plans. Through lively discussion, we’ll explore how Jewish angelology evolved and meet the fascinating figures who populate this spiritual realm. Come curious, and leave inspired by the celestial drama woven through Jewish tradition!
