Prohibition of Ov and Yidoni and the Story of Shaul and Ba'alat Ha'Ov – Neima Novetsky – ALHATORAH.ORG
Update: 2019-05-02
Description
The Torah prohibits necromancy and other magical practices, but does it believe in their efficacy? What light might the story of Shaul and the Ba'alat Ha'Ov shed on this question? Did the sorceress really revive Shemuel or did she merely trick Shaul into thinking that she did? Finally, if magic does exist, what does this suggest about the line between Divine and human capabilities? This Torahcast, brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky, explores these questions and more.
