Master Classes in Judaic Studies with Jewlia Eisenberg: Rimon Series

Jewlia Eisenberg in Conversation with Faculty from the Center for Judaic Studies. This Rimon series will focus on Babylonian incantation bowls – a type of amulet that was commonly used more than 1500 years ago in the region now known as Iraq. These bowls were inscribed with secrets and desires and then buried under the home. They speak of mysticism and sensuality,angels and devils, and the trials and joys of love and sex. These amulets were a cosmopolitan form, shared by Jews, Syriac Christians, Gnostics, Mandaeans, and Zorastrians.
