Is Sorcery Permitted In Judaism? Kabbalah, Witchcraft and Quick Fixes

witchcraft is it allowed is it not allowed but that's don't worry it's not the surprise it's not even up for discussion witchcraft is forbidden as the Tora itself says there's a verse in the Torah that says if someone is dealing with witchcraft sorcery they according to the Torah at the time of mosenu at the time of the sanedrin the bet mikdash they would get the death penalty why witchcraft is not tolerated whatsoever in Judaism now why do people go to je to to Witchcraft if it's forbidden now of course easy explanation would be that uh they're not religious no no but I'm not talking about they're not religious I'm talking about people that are religious they do keep Shabbat they do you know dress modestly uh they eat kosher they give Saka not to the local Zoo but rather to an or Torah organization of some kind but yet they go to Witchcraft witchcraft like the famous Arab woman that lives in yafo or the people that deal with tarot cards or read in the coffee uh or all types of fortune tellers uh all types of uh mumbo jumbo types of uh uh conmen uh and some of them even look like they are uh you know mualim you know but again uh the uh to a I could tell you one thing for sure uh is not going to do the things that people that call themselves MIM today and charge an extraordinary amount of money uh do uh I've met a few and uh the behavior of the real one versus the uh the fake ones is literally such a world of difference uh that um it's surprising that people even fall for this trap but again ignorance unfortunately is a uh is a disease worse than Corona uh or at least the the vaccine or or at least the corona I'm not sure which one was worse anyway witchcraft is forbidden there's no permission for witchcraft there is something called cabal Kabal is using different teachings from the cabala which is part of the mystical aspects of the Torah in order to elevate your soul Elevate reality do all types of things can even manipulate nature I know someone that can manipulate metal uh at ease just like you can eat cereal he can manipulate the spoon that's for metal and bend it and do whatever he wants with it then there's all types of interesting people but again these are not things that you use just for for for entertainment it's not something that uh is uh to be messed with but the point being is is that there are MIM out there there are very holy people out there generally speaking most of them do not see uh the public they do not even disclose this to the public there's just you know few people that they know that they usually tell this to or their students uh you know maybe perhaps even uh some parts of their own family don't know either way the to get yourself to a point of being able to uh practice Kabal means that you have a command an expertise over all of the foundational principles of the Torah and teachings of the Torah meaning you have a complete Command over the the the you know of course the the Z and a lot of other things that most people are most likely uh you unaware that they even exist needless to say have read them now if somebody is out there and says uh that they teach publicly like on YouTube or something like that you should know that if they are an honest person all they're teaching you are things that are like mid stories within the Z or other cabalistic books that you're allowed to talk about you know stories about the weekly par stories about sikim things like that no problem maybe even different aspects of cabala that are uh very uh fundamental like different parts of the N those things are usually not a uh uh so difficult to learn needless to say to teach but if they're telling you they're going to teach you secret parts of the cabala and the root of the Nish and all types of things that are in essence the uh the higher level of teachings either they are a liar or they are a liar why because you don't teach cabala publicly and anyone that actually says he does is a liar uh now you would say wait maybe they're a wicked cabalist no such thing no things there are certain people that know cabala that have become Wicked throughout history like sh uh and uh and his and some of his students but again it's a uh it's not it's not something that is even teachable uh to the average person out there because they they wouldn't know what to do with it anyone that even learned a little bit of it would know they wouldn't know what people wouldn't know what to do with the information would teach them even if you would simply teach them the simplest name they wouldn't know what to do with it so again people that say that they teach it are usually uh very good conmen now back to our issue at hand witchcraft going to forbidden places such as these uh Sorcerers tarot cards you know psychics psychos uh understanding evil why do people do it the short of it is that people are looking for a shortcut they have some type of problem they have some type of desire and they want a quick solution they want a quick solution now if a person comes to a they come to a true Torah scholar they're going to find out really quickly that nothing has a quick solution anything that's quick it's usually bad it's usually forbidden nothing has a quick solution someone got sick you want a quick solution someone lost their money you want a quick solution all of these types of things that people come they want a quick solution there is no quick solution even the cabalistic the real cabalistic tiim are very arduous to say the least very difficult take an enormous amount of effort and and and and time and generally speaking if the average person out that was even made familiar with the process of any one of the real tiim they would simply realize there is no shortcut in Judaism anything that's introduced to you as a shortcut it's usually a long cut what do I mean by long cut it could usually create more problems than good now as I've said in the uh recent months and over the years there are times that people come to me for questions every day we have hundreds of questions there also times where people come to me looking for a quick solution someone got sick someone lost their money someone's looking for a z someone is uh looking for a divorce you know all types of uh you know interesting uh requests that people have and uh I try to guide him to the best of my ability of course always under the guidance of my Rabbi RAB frim uh but of course sometimes people don't really want the answer they simply want a solution so they say can you just like you know speak to a cabalist and he'll fix it or can I just pay this person and they'll do it can you just cure cancer for me or cure uh you know this problem for me and the reality is that when you give them uh the uh the answer that uh even if uh we were to help uh we were to do something uh for you or for your loved one it wouldn't work unless there was a some type of big Mitzvah connected to it fueling it meaning it the change can or and the tun cannot just be on the uh you know the the so-called sadik's hands the person involved has to be you know involved in the actual tun itself and that's where people don't you know back away way and they go look elsewhere for someone else that could sell you know that could sell them you know the uh the Golden Gate Bridge uh you know perhaps a higher price but a bigger promise of course they end up with nothing other than bitterness and disappointment but needless to say there are constantly people looking for a quick solution whether it's the request that I get from people or Rabbi how can I make a quick 10,000 this month uh you know or or or rabbi how could I uh you know I have a loved one that uh is uh on their deathbed right now uh and uh how could I just fix it well I mean God is not limited so he can fix it the fact that God is not limited does not mean that he needs to fix it and but it's the same attitude that people have towards let's say rich people where they say oh yeah listen he's a billionaire he's a millionaire so why wouldn't he give me $100,000 just because someone has the ability to do something doesn't mean that they'll do it so putting all of this as so-called like the introduction and in essence addressing the foolishness that usually surrounds these issues we're going to go into the holy Torah and learn from stories from the zor from the from the that will give us a little bit of I guess information information that could help us arrive at a better understanding of how to apply to today when it comes to dealing with evil understanding evil rationalizing it is it truly evil from that and I hear it too but we no check in uh just wait uh we're going to get police wait for
