Join us for our Exploration of Magic and Medicine in Jewish life. In this class we examine the rise of classical Herbals and handbooks of magic, as well as healing amulets, in the context of the advent of “Rational Medicine” in the wake of Maimonidean and the professionalization of healing (roughly 12-18th centuries) We will begin with the first book of Jewish medicine “Sefer Assaf” and move on to examine grimoires and herbals in Europe culminating in an examination of recent research into Eastern European Jewish Folk Medicine. Segulot, ” Treasured Holistic Remedies” will be shared and we will have, no doubt, some passionate discussion of holistic medicine in our own time and the legacy of Jewish Earth Based Hochma\/Wicca. This class is for healers, doctors, social workers, herbalists, historians of medicine, clergy, nurses, psychiatrists, witches and anyone else interested in the interplay of medicine and healing modalities in Medieval and Early Modern History.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
