This lecture opens with the Neo-Shamanism in Israel, and presents two modes in which the local alternative spirituality approaches Judaism – positively and negatively. The lecture focuses on the demonstration of a negative connection with Judaism, in an Israeli Neo-Shaman text. The text is an alternative nrrative of a rabbinic legend of a witch hunt conducted by one of the Rabbis in Ashkelon in the days of the Hasmonean Kingdom.
The text was analysed in a few publications (one in English) – see links below.
The lecture took part at a conference in Zefat Academic College.
More information on the lecture (including the presentation’s film and file) and the conference is available in Hebrew (see links below).
