Description

The Folklore of the Jews is a comprehensive exploration of Jewish folklore traditions, beliefs and practices spanning multiple centuries. This classic work by Dr. Rappaport organises a wealth of material around four central themes: nature, heavenly bodies and mythological motifs; fauna and flora; human life including birth, marriage, illness and death alongside omens and portents; and supernatural and natural powers encompassing demons, spirits, witchcraft, charms and spells. The book includes dedicated chapters on folk medicine, demonology, customs and practices that illuminate the rich tapestry of Jewish cultural wisdom. Originally published in 2007 by Routledge as part of the Kegan Paul Library of Jewish Studies, this volume serves as an essential reference for scholars, students and anyone interested in Jewish history, ethnography and the traditional beliefs that shaped Jewish communities.
