Hey, I've picked up a bunch of followers recently. You're awesome! I'm obsessed w/ Jewish monster & magic lore. I tweet often, blog occasionally, teach when I can, & am working on #JewishMonsterHunting trading cards. I love to chat, so let's talk dybbuks, amulets & giant frogs.
Want to get a PhD in Yiddish or Hebrew? Or Yiddish AND Hebrew? We are accepting applications for the PhD in Jewish Languages & Literatures! Please help me get the word out! @JHUArtsSciences
Dr. Leore Sachs-Shmueli and Dr. Eli Rubin, in conversation with Dr. Eitan Fishbane, discuss their new books on mysticism. jtsa.edu/event/emotion-…
📷 Rereading Jacob Z. Lauterbach's "The Ceremony of Breaking a Glass at Weddings" again (I re-read it regularly. It's all about shedim, ya know?) and am again marveling that's 100 years old this year.
New book! “The Writer” by Josh Gad, the Berkowitz Bros, Ariel Olivetti and Frank Cvetkovic. A comic book about a Jewish comic book writer loaded with Jewish monsters and magic. It’s wild. I don’t love it, it’s a bit to chaotic for me. But it’s fun and with checking out.
Fascinating 1891 anthropological description of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews in Turkey. Very judgmental at times, but paints a fascinating picture. I originally ran across it looking at Jewish burial practices, like this one....
One of my buddies took a cool shot of me telling stories at Temple Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor. Very dramatic. Lol. And yeah, I’m sporting a @zealofzebra giant frog shirt. 🤩🐸 martifuerst.com
The best part of the storytelling last night was when a dad brought his 11 y/o daughter over to look at my trading cards. She said that her friend had wanted Percy Jackson books to have Jewish mythology but that she didn't know if there was any…but she did now. Made my night
The original Tale of Posen is amazing…shedim go to the rabbi's court to plead for their inheritance. It's hard to tell, though, so I wrote (& performed) my own version based on the most unlikely characters: two half-shedim sisters in the center of chaos. jewishmonsterhunting.com/2025/11/02/a-t…
Just hung out in the parking lot of a coffee shop rehearsing my stories in my car. Good thing it was dark. I wave my hands around a lot.
Should be rehearsing for my storytelling this Saturday night, instead reading the Jewish Encyclopedia article on the history of Jews in Posen.
Had fun today. I was a guest in the Writers Guilds of America panel titled "Remaking Myths: Jewish Representation in Horror, Fantasy & Folklore" along w/ Molly Adams (Jewish Horror Review), Laura Dooney & Jason Rostovsky (writers of Agatha All Long), writer Jenn Frazin & others
A 2nd article is out today, w/Michele Scarlassara! We present a previously unpublished Syriac incantation bowl from the Penn Museum, w/a formula paralleling several Mandaic bowls, w/intriguing social-historical implications This is the 1st bowl published using spectral imaging!
My article “Does an Arrow a Day Keep Satan Away? Late Antique Magical Subtexts in Babylonian Rabbinic Narratives” is now OA in HTR! It argues that a Talmudic story about a rabbi’s encounter with Satan adjudicates between competing incantations in late antique Iraq Great images!
Guess who guested on the latest @pjlibrary "Beyond the Bookcase" podcast? :) "We had a chat with a real-life monster expert! Join Golem and producer Ali as they sit down with Jack Zaientz from JewishMonsterHunting.com" It was fun! Check it out wherever you get your podcasts
