Marques Hollie: Angel, Adversary, Apothecary: An Exploration of Satan in Jewish Sources

Thursday, July 30, 4:30pm

Where did Satan get his other name, origin story, and seat at the celestial table? Not from Tanakh, but from early apocalyptic literature and midrash. In this session, we’ll dig into the sources that transform the word “satan” from a common noun applied to those engaging in adversarial behavior into an angelic being with a job in the supernal court. In doing so, we’ll see how the rabbis read Satan back into episodes of Torah that don’t mention him at all, reminding us that absence is an invitation to imagine.
