As a Christian, i love learning about jewish demonology and tradition in general. Every so often i study parts of the talmud online. Thank you to both of you for making this easily and readily available. The typical historical mindset from Christians about the jews, is that they had secret knowledge but were unable to do anything with it because anti-semitism. I agree that the Jews have knowledge about our god, and we may live our lives differently and worship God differently, but I know that I can learn a lot from Jews and Jewish customs. I'm very thankful for you Dr Sledge, this channel, and everything you've done for my intellectual and spiritual walk.

You know what the Talmud says where Jesus is right now? Judeo-Christianity is a sham and the two religions are directly opposed to each other.

[@randybobandy4801]

I have long wanted to convert to Judaism very badly. Though my intentions and motivations seemed to be acceptable when I spoke with a rabbi, I was informed by him and many others online beforehand that my pre-existing agreement with my spouse to raise our children in their faith precludes my conversion, and over time I have come to accept that it was probably not meant to be in this lifetime. One reason was the perhaps selfish, childish hope that I could one day be one of those venerable looking old fellows bent over a crinkly leatherbound book of Rabbinic commentary or obscure Kabbalistic lore written in Hebrew, with something substantial to tell you about it. I had reasons that were less puerile and daydreamy, like realizing over the years an astounding percentage of my favorite thinkers and artists are Jews. And I really like the Talmudic tradition, that Jews leave space in their theology for disagreement, community consensus, layered understanding, updating, “loopholes” and so on. The fact that there doesn’t seem to be an eternity in an oven at stake in the game of life, also comparatively chill. Anyway I appreciate y’all’s work and knowledge. You contribute to the edification of your fellows who have big questions and whatever your personal beliefs I do see that as part of the Lord’s work. Big preesh and blessings

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

Fantastic! Miriam is delightful, and I am now going to follow her work elsewhere! Thanks for having her on! Just a wacky thought: perhaps the reason Agrat can dance on the roof on Tuesdays is because the Rabbis were in contact with their colleagues in India: Tuesday is Hanuman's holy day (along with Saturday, actually!), and because Hanuman is a major demon-slayer/queller/tamer (particularly of female demons!), perhaps they just knew, "Ah, he'll take care of her." ;) (My friend and elder, EliSheva Nesher of AmHa of beloved memory, had an interesting experience with Hanuman that I spoke with her about on several occasions, and so I offer this thought in honor of her...I'm sure she'd love your channel, Justin, and also Miriam's!)

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

@@MiriamAnzovin I mean every one of them! I am looking forward to delving further into your videos soon! (I enjoyed the one on Trans Day of Visibility very much indeed!)

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

@@MiriamAnzovin In fairness, I should probably give a bit of context here--I hope you don't mind! ;) Both EliSheva and myself are polytheists, so we're used to experiencing lots of different Deities and types of divine beings on a semi-regular basis...and she taught me much about Lilith that I have never forgotten, and in fact use pretty regularly (especially lately--long story!)! While she stuck pretty closely to Hebrew and Canaanite Deities (e.g. Anat, Asherah, Rahmay, Ba'al, etc.), as was the tradition of AmHa that she learned in Israel and brought to the U.S., she had occasional dealings with other Deities based on who (amongst humans!) she happened to be hanging out with at the time; she had good friends deeply involved with Norse Deities, for example, and was just as enthused a giver of toasts at blots as anyone. She had Hanuman show up at one point rather unexpectedly, amidst practices totally unrelated to Him, and because Hanuman has been part of my own practice fairly regularly (despite my own focus being much more toward Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Irish Deities...and also sometimes Shinto--it's a VERY long story!), this is something we talked about on a number of occasions between whatever else we were doing...like her giving lot-casting readings, which have been the hands-down best divination readings I've ever been given by another person. (She has two books on the subject available from Amazon, which I highly recommend!) So, needless to say, both of us are HUGELY biased in thinking rather cross-culturally and internationally on a pretty much default basis, and so that would color our reflections at any given time. She passed on January 1, 2023, and a truly amazing person that I will never forget (and one of several such people I've lost in the last few years) became a legend and an Ancestor rather than "just" an Elder...thus, I should probably clarify I can't really speak for her exactly, but I can easily imagine this conversation happening, and if nothing else, she'd just smile and chuckle and perhaps nod, and say something clever and incisive that would begin in her inimitable style with, "So, Phil, what you're saying is...." (One of the best instances of such was when the end of that sentence was, "...we have the same taste in men?") ;) I'm absolutely certain she'd adore you, Miriam, and I can only imagine being a fly on the wall for the conversations you'd have! But, back to the main subject: I'm also sure that the Rabbis are just as likely to surprise us, and certainly more often than many would assume...so, why not? Hanging out with Indians and talking techniques for demon-quelling? Why not? Stranger things have happened! Demonology is one area where syncretism kind of runs rampant an awful lot, so...who knows?

On why Lilith gets Tuesday (50:00): I think it may be because Tuesday is associated with the planet Mars and Samael the angel of destruction/death (at least in the Hygromancy of Solomon!). It would make sense given that Lilith and Samael would be paired up in Kabbalistic lore.

[@marianatheschizoid5912]

I’m not Jewish but I think that Jewish mythology and scholarship to be extremely fascinating. I also like the fact that studying history and tradition from a “secular” academic perspective is actually quite common within Judaism. My family is from a Catholic background and despite the fact that they have interesting traditions in their own right, but I don’t think there’s any way to approach Christianity without bad faith.

[@lucyjane3803]

Its true, the perversion of Christianity began almost immediately after Christ's death in ignoring the role and contributions of Mary Magdalene. Since then it has just been twisted over and over to suit political and personal agendas of power and greed, I don't think much remains of the true intended message in what is called Christianity today. I also have a Catholic background and find studying Jewish mythology/tradition and stories of the old testament far more fascinating!

[@marianatheschizoid5912]

@@lucyjane3803 Yeah I agree. I mean, Christianity was very political from the get go. Jesus chased money lenders off the temple and said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to inherit the kingdom of God. He was clearly challenging the people in power at the time (both Jewish and Roman). There are also ways in which Christianity is very much a product of the highly patriarchal society it originated from. The same goes for Judaism, I guess. I just like the fact that that there is room within Judaism to analyse scripture from non-divine perspective, to approach ancient literary texts from a sound academic perspective. In Catholicism you have to believe that the bible is the word of god and all of it is supposed to go unchallenged, most even go as far as believing in a literal Adam and Eve. I know there are more progressive types of Christianity and I have attended some of these groups, they are truly doing great work to move Christians away from conservatism. But they still require belief in God, something I just can’t get behind.

I think informally many Protestant churches do it with their literature. I grew up Church of Christ and even though they’re bitterly against the “doctrines of men” in a theological way they nonetheless have a “canon” of human authors whose interpretations of the Bible they read and support to the exclusion of all others.

I hate that I writing this 2days after premier. Regarding why maybe Tuesdays was free for Agrat bat Mahlat to do her thing, I think it maybe cuz Tuesdays was ladies night. Tuesdays was the day of the week when men where banned from the markets and bathhouses so that women could move at their leisure.

As someone who know next to nothing about the subject, I'm a bit confused. You guys start the discussion with describing the Talmud as a collection rabbinical commentary.
