1:31:05In Parashat Shoftim, the Torah lists practices such as divination, sorcery, witchcraft, and necromancy — and calls them abominations. But what do these words really mean? Why are they forbidden, and how are they relevant today? In this 90-minute class, Rabbi Nir Menussi explores the Torah’s vision of the occult and shows how these ancient prohibiti…
