Jewish Folklore

Jewish folklore is a rich tradition that spans over millennia, deeply rooted in the ancient Near East and influenced by the cultures of the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Middle East. Central to Jewish folklore are tales of divine intervention, mysticism, and legendary creatures like the Golem, Leviathan, and Behemoth, which are woven into religious texts such as the Talmud and Midrash. These stories often reflect the Jewish people's struggles, resilience, and spiritual beliefs. Over centuries, Jewish folklore evolved to include mystical traditions like the Kabbalah, with stories of angels, demons, and cosmic battles. These tales serve both as moral lessons and as cultural expressions of the Jewish experience throughout history.
