Witchcraft, Superstition and the Occult – Rabbi Michael Skobac – Jews for Judaism

Over the past decades, there has been a tremendous interest in the general culture on the mysterious realms of the paranormal and occult. This is reflected in the proliferation of books, films and websites dealing with topics ranging from astrology to witchcraft. What does Judaism have to say about these issues?

Among the Torah sages, there has been a range of perspectives. Some, like the rationalist Rabbi Moses Maimonides rejects them all out-of-hand as bogus nonsense. However, rabbis from the mystical schools of Judaism insist that the occult is real, but that the Torah prohibits us from using their practices.

This video, Rabbi Michael Skobac explores this fascinating topic and includes a number of real-life stories to illustrate some of the issues.

JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an outreach organization whose primary goal is to win back to Judaism those Jews who have been influenced by the following six threats to Jewish survival that are devastating the global Jewish community.

1. Hebrew-Christian missionaries convert thousands of Jews worldwide every year
2. Destructive cults cause many Jews to abandon family, friends and careers
3. Eastern religions, Buddhism and Hinduism are spiritual choices for many Jews
4. Apathy and ignorance leave many Jews unaware, unaffiliated and assimilated
5. Intermarriage is exploding with a 75% rate in some North American cities
6. Anti-Israel BDS on campus inhibits Jewish students from standing up for Israel and Judaism

To assist non-Jews who have left other religions, JEWS FOR JUDAISM also provides educational programs to help them embrace the Torah’s Seven Noachide Laws for Gentiles.

We achieve our goals through our worldwide Internet outreach, Social Media, free educational programs, educational literature and counseling services that connect Jewish people to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism.

“I am so grateful to have discovered the wonderful Jews for Judaism YouTube lectures by Rabbi Skobac. I am a Jew who converted to Christianity in college, but now, thanks to your online outreach, I have returned to Judaism. Thank you.” – Rebecca G.

In a nutshell, Jews for Judaism saves Jewish lives and keeps Jews Jewish.
