The Jewish Approach to Ghosts

Rabbi Pinchas Taylor
4589 Views     9 Ratings
In the Book of Samuel I, chapter 28, King Saul faces a monumental battle against the Philistines.  He needs help beyond what his generals can tell him; he needs supernatural help. What does he do?
 
From King Saul to the epics of Homer, from Shakespeare's Macbeth to Thornton Wilder's Our Town -- and every campfire or sleepover in our childhood, there were ghost stories.  What is the real scoop on ghosts?  Does Judaism "believe" in ghosts?  Are they haunting creepy spirits, or something far different?
 
In this video, part of a series on the paranormal by Rabbi Pinchas Taylor, we learn about the relationship between body and soul, and how even after death parts the two, there can be communication, succor, and love that passes between the two worlds.
 
As for the question about King Saul?  Watch the video to find out!
