| Zusammenfassung: | Biographical note: J. H. Chajes teaches Jewish history at the University of Haifa. Adopting a comparative historical approach, J. H. Chajes uncovers a strain of Jewish belief to which scant attention has been paid. Between Worlds provides fascinating descriptions of cases of possession as well as analysis of the magical techniques deployed by rabbinic exorcists to expel the ghostly intruders. |
