Remember the graveyard dream scene in Fiddler on the Roof? Dybbuks, troubled spirits who try to enact their ascent into the afterlife by borrowing someone else's life, played an important instructional role in Jewish mythology as messengers, judges, or scolds. This collection contains the novella-sized drama "A Dybbuk or Between Two Worlds," plus 13 shorter tales of the spirit world. In the title story, a deceased man possesses the body of his beloved Leah. As Leah comes to realize what has happened, she resolves to sacrifice herself in order to be with her intended bridegroom. His shroud of death becomes sunlight when Leah finally joins him. In "God on Trial," God gets in trouble for, among other things, the destruction of the Temple, which He had decreed. The judges decide that God made a mistake and had inspired the emperor to issue the order. Upon God's recanting of the edict, the emperor concurs, and all is well again. "The Creation Melody" is a the folktale of a song performed for completion of structures. It was composed during a fundraiser in which the congregation of a synagogue found that they no longer had the funds for completion of construction. The rabbi was challenged, for a price, to come up with a new song within five minutes. When he did, the challenge was paid and the synagogue was finished. Each story in this collection depicts a piece of an ancient culture with a rich literary heritage. --SusanSwartwout

THE dybbuk.......2005-07-28
This is THE version of the play to read. I've tried to read several other translations, and this is the first time I've made it all the way through, thanks to Kushner's adaptation, which is lean and poetic. At no point did I space out because I didn't understand the tradition or the arcana. Chonen's dabbling in Kabbalah feels timely and even appropriate given the rapidly changing world in which he lives. The horrors of the twentieth century are knocking on the doors of the Jews of Brinnitz and Mirapol, Poland is heading over the brink, and an old way of life is doomed not just by historical forces but by the wavering faith of its leaders. Against the lukewarm spirit of the rabbis and community leaders stand the love of Chonen and Leah and the spiritual betrothal which guides them. Condemned to live in two worlds, they take the ultimate step beyond life into the darkness where opposites not only unite, but fuse in a soul-marriage. The mystical rapture they achieve makes the practical, ethical religion of the elders seem faint and puny, but they must die to the world to achieve their hearts' desire. This is a romantic form of tragedy that's stirring to the soul but also troubling for those of us who have opted for life. In classic tragedy, the protagonist walks on, wounded but wiser; with this play, the reader is the tragic hero. You leave this play with the sense of having seen something long hidden and obscured. I don't want what Leah and Chonen found, but I want to keep the candle of their love alight in my soul as I try to manage the treacherous currents of reality. Reading this play is like going to the crossroads with Robert Johnson -- it's important to see it, to know it, and to dance there, but you must finally choose your own road and walk into your own life to really play the blues.
A great play and some interesting ancillary material.......2004-04-21
If Harold Bloom, in his afterword to the play, is to be believed, Tony Kushner has taken great liberties in adapting this 'classic of Yiddish theater.' Unfamiliar with the source material, I can only comment on how wonderful Kushner's version is.
A DYBBUK is the story of a gifted rabbinical student named Chonen who begins dabbling in the mystical text of the Kabbalah. He seeks to use it to prevent the arranged marriage of the girl he is in love with, Leah. Instead, it causes him to die and to inhabit her body. What follows is a wonderful supernatural investigation as to why Chonen has become 'a dybbuk' and how to seperate him from Leah without killing her. I really enjoyed it.
I'm a Kushner fan, and that's what led me here. I thoroughly admired what he did in freely adapting Pierre Cornielle's L'ILLUSION COMIQUE into THE ILLUSION. This DYBBUK another triumph of translation. As a goy (a non-Jew), I had no problem following the parts of the play that delved into Chassidic (their spelling) culture and Jewish law.
Speaking of translation, several other short stories by -- and folk tales collected by -- S. Ansky are included. They are interesting and provide a sort of background to the play. They are bittersweet in that most of them are joyful and about songs, but they are also final traces of a European Jewish culture that, after the terrors of Hitler, can never exist as it once did.
The stories are only a few pages each and read as if they were originally written in English, which is the best you can ask of a translation. Two are in trocaic tetrameter. One is a take off on the book of Revelations. Many of them deal with the origin of songs, or legends about Baal Shem Tov.
But the play is the main thing. It's a great story and Kushner overlays it with philosophical and theological dimensions that will please fans of ANGELS IN AMERICA. For those interested in Yiddish theater, and those who are fans of Kushner, I wholeheartedly recommend A DYBBUK. 5/5 stars.
haunting, beautiful and rich in soul.......1999-09-08
truly amazing, i wish i could understand the orginal language it was written in for i'm sure that it would be even more incredible. I'm very excited to audition for this play at the Unviersity, i would be truly honored to be a part of it. Beautiful imagry...

Book Description
Pitzer College, Claremont, California, is the site of the historic Grove House built in 1902 and moved to the college's campus in the 1970s. Within Grove House is the Bert Meyers Poetry Room, named in honor of the author of this collection and former teacher at Pitzer.
Bert Meyers wrote these poems between 1947 and 1979. Prior to his death at the age of fifty-one, Meyers determined what he considered his best work; following his death Meyers's widow and son added to the collection, all of which now appears in In a Dybbuk's Raincoat, introducing a new generation to Bert Meyers's poetry and songs.
Morten Marcus, friend of Bert Meyers, was asked by Meyers's widow to work with her and Meyers's son, Daniel, to get In a Dybbuk's Raincoat into print.
"There are terrific things here: prose pieces entirely new to me, pungent paragraphs about Paris, lively comments on poetry, and several naughty words about Yeats. Once in a while, one encounters old classics, such as 'Picture Framing.' It's marvelous that Morton Marcus and Bert's son, Daniel, have brought out this book."--Robert Bly, author of My Sentence Was a Thousand Years of Joy
L.A.
The world's largest ash-tray,
the latest in concrete,
capital of the absurd;
one huge studio
where people drive
from set to set and everyone's
from a different planet.
For miles, the palm trees,
exotic janitors,
sweep out the sky at dusk.
The grey air molds.
Geraniums heat the alleys.
Jasmine and gasoline
undress the night.
This is the desert
that lost its mind,
the place that boredom built.
Freeways, condominiums, malls,
where the cartons of trash and diamonds
and ideologies
are opened, used, dumped into the sea.
Pencil Sharpener
It has no arms or legs, this tiny nude; yet grip
it by the waist, then stir its hips: a dry leaf multiplies,
a cold motor starts in the wood.
Revived, still shivering, the pencil sheds itself--
and there's a butterfly, teeth, the fragments of a
crown.
They Who Waste Me
When I ask for a hand,
they give me a shovel.
If I complain, they say,
Worms are needles at work
to clothe a corpse for spring.
I sigh. Whoever breathes
has inhaled a neighbor.
The late Bert Meyers is well known for his surprising, succinct observations on the state of the world and the human condition, finally collected here in one volume.

A smattering of prose works round out this outstanding anthology of lifetime achievement........2007-07-08
In a Dybbuk's Raincoat is a hardcover anthology of collected poetry by California lyricist and poetry teacher Bert Meyers (1928-1979). Most of the free-verse poems are brief; their eclectic diversity shines with polished, original flair and range in subject from gentle reflections on aging to a blunt summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Los Angeles. Some of the collected poems were previously published in literary reviews or journal entries; others were previously unpublished. A smattering of prose works round out this outstanding anthology of lifetime achievement. "By the Sea": Across that loud scroll of water / fishermen still sail out / to earn a living, / a boat leaves for Peru... // And always, a multitude / unpacks a paradise / of Sundays on the sand / to celebrate the passage of its blood.
Book Description
In The Dybbuk, a drama of mystical passion and demonic possession, S. Ansky (1863-1920) brings together the saga of his own youthful rebellion against religious authority, his abiding faith in the power of the simple folk, his utopian struggle for equality, and his newfound commitment to the Jewish people. Anksy had just returned from an epoch-making ethnographic expedition through the Yiddish heartland of Eastern Europe, and what he found in the towns and townlets of the Ukraine was a religious civilization that mediated the living and the dead, the strong and the weak, the natural and the supernatural.
In his introduction to this volume, David G. Roskies reveals that Ansky's return to Mother Russia was accompanied by a profound renegotiation with his hasidic heritage, the Yiddish language, and the Jewish historical imagination. The book also contains little-known works of autobiographical and fantastical prose fiction, as well as an excerpt from The Destruction of Galacia, Ansky's four-volume chronicle of the Eastern Front in the First World War.

From the Rich Tradition of Yiddish Mystic Mythology.......2006-06-30
A Dybbuk is a haunting and beautiful and haunting combination between a love story and a ghost story, growing out of the tradition of Yiddish theatre.
The main story revolves around a young rabbinical student, Channon, whose beloved and promised bride, Leah, is denied to him, because of his poverty. He dies as a result of his misuse of the holy texts of the Kabbalah. His soul invades the body of his intended bride, as a Dybbuk - which is a spirit in Jewish mythology that invades other people's bodies. When he is exorcised from Leah's body, she makes a pact with her beloved to unite her soul with his spirit, and so she departs the earth too- so strong was the love of Leah and Channon that their spirits would not be kept from each other even in death.
This volume contains some of the richest treasures of old Yiddish mythology and literature , much of it involving rich Chassidic mysticism.
Book Description
After a nearly two-thousand-year interlude, and just as Christian Europe was in the throes of the great Witch Hunt and what historians have referred to as "The Age of the Demoniac," accounts of spirit possession began to proliferate in the Jewish world. Concentrated at first in the Near East but spreading rapidly westward, spirit possession, in both benevolent and malevolent forms, emerged as perhaps the most characteristic form of religiosity in early modern Jewish society.
Adopting a comparative historical approach, J. H. Chajes uncovers this strain of Jewish religiosity to which scant attention has been paid. Informed by the most recent research in historical anthropology, Between Worlds provides fascinating descriptions of the cases of possession as well as analysis of the magical techniques deployed by rabbinic exorcists to expel the ghostly intruders.
Seeking to understand the phenomenon of spirit possession in its full complexity, Chajes delves into its ideational framework--chiefly the doctrine of reincarnation--while exploring its relation to contemporary Christian and Islamic analogues. Regarding spirit possession as a form of religious expression open to--and even dominated by--women, Chajes initiates a major reassessment of women in the history of Jewish mysticism. In a concluding section he examines the reception history of the great Hebrew accounts of spirit possession, focusing on the deployment of these "ghost stories" in the battle against incipient skepticism in the turbulent Jewish community of seventeenth-century Amsterdam.
Exploring a phenomenon that bridged learned and ignorant, rich and poor, men and women, Jews and Gentiles, Between Worlds maps for the first time a prominent feature of the early modern Jewish religious landscape, as quotidian as it was portentous: the nexus of the living and the dead.
Customer Reviews:
Scholarly and informative........2007-01-12
This is the most scholarly work on the subject of Jewish exorcisms in English. I recommend it to the student and religious practitioner alike. If nothing else, the appendix and bibliography are invaluable to anyone interested in the subject.
I feel that not enough attention was paid to non-dybbuk forms of possession. Demonic possession, though not as prevalent in Talmudic Judaism, does appear throughout Jewish history. Also, more information on 'good' forms of spirit possession would have been helpful, specifically those forms which exhibit themselves in Chasidism.
My only real negative criticism on the text itself is that the translations leave the average reader quite sated but only whet the appetite of a serious scholar. Chajes should consider providing the original Hebrew and Aramaic texts in an additional appendix.
Jewish exorcisms revealed.......2006-12-29
An amazingly informative read, Between Worlds offers a rare glance into the writings of Early Modern Jews dealing with spirit possession, excorcism, and prevailing attitudes of the times, both Jewish and non-Jewish. It was fascinating to read about Luria and his contemporaries dealings with dyybuks, possessed women, and to have the comparision with Christian and Islamic practises and writings of the period. The possession accounts are captivating, and Chajes is excellent at breaking the information down to guide the reader through all the twists and turns that an excorcist would follow. I especially enjoyed the chapters on women and their use of possession to call for change, and heavily influence powerful men at times. While academic in style, it is none the less a great read for anyone remotely interested in Jewish spirit possession, exorcism, women's religiosity, and Medieval/Early Modern Kabbalistic attitudes of these issues.
entertaining and edifying historical anthropology.......2004-06-04
A wonderfully suggestive work. Clothed in sometimes rigorous scholarly prose, this book is a fit remedy to the spiritual pabulum of our day. Not everyone who dies is escorted by loving family members to the spirit Harvard in the sky.
There are "homeless" spirits, who can't even find their way to hell and others so purposeful, they refuse to wait for their next incarnation to have their say. They both might choose to occupy the bodies of people--or dogs.
If they're the homeless type and Jewish, you might consider bringing a Muslim or Christian exorcist. The spells and spirits they bring will crowd out and disgust the Jew into leaving. If they're the other kind, and they misquote a classic Jewish text, but you don't quite catch their drift, they could decide you're too dull for dwelling in.
An entertaining and edifying historical anthropology of a key phenomenon, spirit possession, at the dawn of modern Jewish mysticism.
religion of books alone?.......2004-05-05
Although many people will focus in on the "ecstatic women on the margins" possibilities of Chajnes's book, I find the study important primarily for opening eyes to what was mainstream Judaism, and European at that, in the early modern period. Not just an isolated incident or two, and covering many phenomena of Jewish life, spirit communication and mystical insights are typical of a major stream in Judaism. Where did we get the hyper-rational and book-dominated religion of Reform Judaism today? That should be the question. The religion is rich with the same kind of intermingling of heavenly and earthly worlds that Christian and Muslim peoples saw. Think again about what is normal, orthodox in any of them. Thinking in the long historical perspective, Judaism as ethics, reason, and law and those elements only - that is the anomaly.
understanding transmigration.......2004-04-08
This well researched investigation of the passage of souls and the potential delays and solutions that could be encountered is surely the best book available on the subject. It can be read and understood by the common man of any religion and scholars will also find much newly translated and well interpreted depth study of this most important subject. Buy it, read it and give gifts of it. It will change how you look at life and death.

Excellent job!.......2000-04-08
This is an exceptional audio recording of a beautiful and exciting play. The sound is pristine and the performances outstanding. The play has humor, supernatural elements, a nearly heartbreaking romance, suspense and an uplifting moral. What more can you ask?
Masterful production of Yiddish classic.......1999-11-21
This is a beautifully acted production with music and sound effects put to excellent purpose. Romantic, chilling, funny in turns. Ashley Gardner, Theodore Bikel and Ed Asner are the best.
Adaptation?.......1999-08-27
I was going to give this a five star recommendation until i read Yuri Rasovsky's review of his own "adaptation", neglecting to mention the only WRITER {that i recognize} whom he should consider himself blessed would deem it worthy to participate in, HARLAN ELLISON. Mr. Rasovsky you will remain an adaptor.
Book Description
In this small but powerful work, the author brings to light the Jewish-Kabbalistic answer to the everlasting question of why good people suffer. The occult, dreaming, reincarnation, soul possession and transmigration, apparitions, spiritual bodies, sorcery, superstition, the paranormalall are discussed. An enlightening, poignant work!
Customer Reviews:
An excellent book on the spiritual world!.......1999-05-17
A good book about the spiritual world, the world beyond--with warnings to keep out of trouble by not giving the negative spiritual beings an invitation. One conclusion I draw from for this book is the importance of Talmud study. There is a wealth to learn in Talmud. I would also suggest reading the Book The Chazon Ish, by Rabbi Finkelman.
Book Description
An astonishing book chronicling and dramatizing six documented reports of possession and exorcism in the Jewish experience. Also features a fascinating historical look at the traditional Jewish perspective on reincarnation, ghosts, apparitions, magic and superstition.
Customer Reviews:
I'm a Jewish dyke, but...........2006-04-30
Since I'm a Jewish Lesbian I was delighted to find out about this book, but I was seriously disappointed. In the first place, the novel is written in the present tense. Writing fiction in the present tense is almost always a bad idea; it's annoying and amateurish. In the second place, the very first page contained two mistakes about Jewish theology. First, There is no prohibition in Leviticus or anywhere else in the Hebrew Bible against Lesbian sex. Even the Talmud only mentions that men should discourage their wives and daughters from committing frottage with other women and that Jewish priests should not marry women known to do so. Second, while Jewish men are required by Mosaic law to marry and have children, Jewish women are not. Also, while there might be some particular Jewish sect that believes that the orderly function of the universe depends upon our following the Law, I have never heard of them; perhaps Miss Galford has us confused with the Aztecs, who believed that the sun would not rise if they did not perform the proper rituals. According to one of the other reviews the author even got the definition of a dybbuk wrong, so apparently I was right to give up on the first page.
Nifty little book.......2004-10-06
You don't need to be a Jewish lesbian to enjoy the strong female characters [Gay sex is kept to a descriptive minimum] and the spin on jewish mysticism and folklore that is presented in this book. Who would take offense to corporate politics displacing Sheol or the dybbuk's attempts to modernize haunting in the 21st century? The dybbuk comments on the holocaust are priceless as is the sly treatment of evil and the afterlife in the book. Very Jewish! By the way, I will never look at the Hasidim the same way again...
not bad, not bad..........2000-04-17
considering this is my first delve into lesbian and jewish literature, i was quite impressed. the book gave a whole new outlook on evil spirits and demons and gave jewish lesbians an interesting perspective. the only reason the book didnt get 5/5 stars from me is that the ending could've been a little stronger. other than that, the book was wonderful!
Jewish folklore aspect is inaccurate but fun anyway........1999-08-12
I read this book excited by the idea of contemporary feminist Jewish folklore. I expected a kind of lesbian retake of the Jewish classic folktale "The Dybuk". Though the story is funny, it fails as modern folklore because the author has confused her folklore archtypes. A dybuk is the tormented spirit of person who died usually under strange circumstances. The souls of these dead posses a living person. Kokos, the "dybuk" in this story is really a demon, like her lover Lilith. Demons occupy a separate place in Jewish folklore. Too bad, the story would have been that much better if the author had gotten her folklore characters right.
Jewish dyke fiction. How can you say no?.......1998-10-04
I liked this book. I liked Rainbow, I liked Kokos, I liked this book. Parts of it tended to be a little over the top (I was disappointed by the ending, which didn't satisfy me), but the sheer idea of Hell being bought out by the Japanese was worth it. Read this just for the sheer joy of Hell as a beaurocracy.

Classic Jewish writings on the the supernatural and metaphysical.......2007-09-15
This is an extraordinary set of tales for all who love works of fantasy and fairy tales as well as those interested in Jewish folklore and tradition.
They range from beautiful fairy tales such as Three Wedding Canopies by the genius YL Peretz, the wise stories of Rabbi Nachman of Bratislav (Whose writing inspired Franz Kafka), the master of writing on the occult and supernatural S Ansky, to more cynical and satirical pieces such as The Mare by Mendele Moykher-Sforim.
The Golem is a translation from the original manuscript written by Yudl Rosenberg in 1909.
It was a response to the terrible blood libels which had gained credence in the 1890s and was leading to greater attacks on Jews. Rosenberg relies on age-old Hassidic hagiography and folklore to create this folk tale of Rabbi Liva and his creation through kabbalah of the Golem, a manlike creature made from dust and ashes, that Rabbi Liva uses to perform great miracles and to save the innocent and punish the evil.
He uses the Golem to frustrate the evil designs of the spiteful and malicious anti-Semite Father Tadeus. A young Jewish girl is kidnapped and forcibly converted to Christianity before being rescued by the Golem, and forgeries of the blood libel are disproved through the Golem's deeds and the evildoers aiming to frame the Jews unmasked.
The tragedy of a brother (who was swapped at birth) and sister marrying each other, is averted, amidst much supernatural and metaphysical phenomena.
This is a tale of Jewish folklore, fantasy and kabbalah and is both glorious and intriguing.
It is also a commentary, on the fate of the Jews through the ages.
There is During the Middle Ages a Jew passes away, and is buried, with kaddish spoken for him.
When his soul's deeds are weighed the good deeds and the bad deeds are completely balanced and since the sins do not outweigh the virtues the soul would not go to hell, and since the virtues did not outweigh the sins the soul would not go to heaven.
It was determined that he would fly about in the middle until G-D remembered him and took pity on him and summoned him with His Grace.
But it was also ruled that if he could bring three valuable gifts to the Saints, during his wanderings, he would be admitted to Heaven.
The soul witnessed three incidents of attacks on Jews and brought back three gifts
A rich Jewish merchant is murdered by bandits and the spirit carries to heaven a speck of soil from Palestine, signifying the eternal link between the Jews and the Land of Israel.
A beautiful young Jewish girl is sentenced to be executed by being dragged through the streets by a wild horse, for leaving the ghetto and walking the streets of the Christian town during a Christian holiday.
She asks for pins to sew the hem of her dress to her legs, sticking the pins deep into her flesh, so that her body would not be exposed when she is dragged through the streets.
The spirit pulls a bleeding pin out of the condemmned girl's leg and flew up to heaven to give it as a gift to the angels.
A Jews is executed in a prison, but refuses to die without his skullcap.
The spirit takes the bloody skullcap as a gift to the saints in heaven.
The tale here details some sardonic treatment of society and materialism, as well as indictment by Peretz of mediocrity and and pettiness.
The message is more metaphysical than social, but also tells something of the situation of the Jewish people and their eternal ideals and faith.
Herein lies the hope.
Peretz is an intellectual hero of mine because he rejected cultural universalism, seeing the world as composed of different nations, each with its own character.
Each nation is special and unique in it's own way.
That is my philosophy.
He saw his role as writing to express 'Jewish ideals...routed in Jewish culture and Jewish history'.
His writings, often of fantasy and metaphysical phenomena always reflect Jewish ideals and Jewish experiences through the ages.
There is also the beautiful fairy tale with a Jewish flavour, The Three Wedding Canopies, where Peretz writes an excellent commentary of history and human affairs:
"Nations and chiildren have a keen eye, that is to say, they can recognize at first glance things that the wisest sages fail to see. Their very first impression tells them who is truly good, honest and pious, and who is wearing a mask on his facve-and has hell in his heart".
Then there is the story of the rabbi who turned into a werewolf, and the rich tale of sad longing and hope The Messiah of the House of Epraim by Moshe Kulbak.
What these works have in common is classic writing, a Jewish perspective and a focus on the supernatural and metaphysical.
For anyone who loves Tanith Lee or the Brothers Grimm.......2000-06-08
The stars of this compilation include the anonymous writers of a 14th century classic, Ansky (of Dybbuk fame), Rabbi Nachman of Bretslav and The Neder(sic). THere are even two representatives of the Haskala or Enlightenment (who were vicious towards observant Judaism in general and Chasidic Judiasm in particular, but still used the symbolism)
Most of these stories are told in the classic fairy tale vein, popularized by the Brothers Grimm. Some are satiric, some are symbolic with symbolism that eludes the reader, some make no sense whatsoever and some are classics. Rabbi Nachman's tales are the most esoteric, while Ansky's stories are the most entertaining and accessible.
Beautifully written tales, translated with an excellent ear to detail and great commentaries (although there does seem to be some pc handwringing over the sexism of some of the tales, but it's not too annoying.)
Buy it. Buy this book now. Then buy other works by the writers contained in the book. This compilation is a great addition to fantasy folk literature. If you are a fantasy reader,you will welcome the relief from unicorns saving the kingdom from the Tolkein imitators. If you aren't a fantasy fan, you will just love this book for its own merits.
