Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Horror and the supernatural are a major part of popular culture. From multiple movies about Frankenstein, Dracula and Werewolves to the Exorcist, Vampire movies too numerous to count, and a current favorite; zombies. Did you know that Jewish culture and folklore was replete with our own brand of things that go bump in the night. Learn about the creatures you never studied in Hebrew school. The Golem, a clay creature of great power, animated to protect the Jewish community during pogroms. Spirits that possess the living and demons that plague the unfortunate. We had our own Frankenstein monsters, vampires, werewolves and even zombies, long before the creatures you see in the movies.
