Judaism vs. the Occult: What Does the Torah Say About Witchcraft, Sorcery & Divination?

from Torah Comes to Life | Rabbi Nir Menussi · host Nir Menussi

In Parashat Shoftim, the Torah lists practices such as divination, sorcery, witchcraft, and necromancy — and calls them abominations. But what do these words really mean? Why are they forbidden, and how are they relevant today? In this 90-minute class, Rabbi Nir Menussi explores the Torah’s vision of the occult and shows how these ancient prohibitions remain deeply relevant in the modern world. Drawing on Kabbalah and Chassidut, the class reveals the hidden structure of the ten forbidden practices, their modern-day counterparts, and how each one can be rectified in a holy way. The class concludes with the Torah’s timeless alternative: walking wholeheartedly with God, free of superstition and false powers. 🔗 Download the full presentation here: http://tiny.cc/7gur001
