### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Seems a hard read starting off.
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2020*

In my opinion: The first half of the book seems to blur given terms into a this or that, seeming to refer to some differing terms that would be the same after distinctions were made previously but seem to blur together later on. Perhaps it may seem that way because the material offered may be at hand as the book is written. Sort of like a research study for academics. I like the book though. The time frame/period is very interesting. Like all of a sudden people wanted to write about paranormal stuff around the 15th to 17th centuries. I think much may have to do with Spain forcing Jews out to favoring a more Christian cultural view. When returning to Sefed, it must have been overwhelming & emotional to behold such a historical place. There seemed to be a fascination with getting prophetic knowledge from the deceased in embracing times of cultural uncertainty & possible feelings of rejection. This book opened my eyes to the power of intention & what prayer really is. It allows for the spectrum of righteousness to be understood in contrasting cultural artistry.  I was looking for insights as to the inverted psychophysiological emoto projection phenomena that allows supernatural power to flow. This book interesting enough seems more cultural in my opinion. There's more to possession than an a "actual entity" whether you believe it or not, it still exists, giving assent is not needed.

    Warning: Scholarly work ahead. Keep a dictionary and the internet handy. Proceed with caution.
  

*by W***5 on Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2013*

Between Worlds is dense with knowledge on the history of exorcisms and demon possession especially as it pertains to Judaism and kabbalah. It is one of the only books I am aware of that attempts to put in historical perspective the phenomenon. The vast array of source texts he has consulted is impressive and it is admirable the way he compares differing theory of thought and draws parallels to the Christian phenomenon of demonic possession. There is much knowledge and insight here.That being said, Chajes does not write for the average reader. His sentence structure and word choice is convoluted with a heavy leaning to the academic that does not serve well disseminating this information. I encourage anyone who plans to tackle this book to do so with a dictionary in one hand and keep Google prepped and ready to search on concepts/people/ideas with which you may not be familiar. One reviewer here has admitted throwing in the towel because of the writing style of the author.There may be some major decoding that you have to do to get to the meat of this book, but the knowledge you will gain is worth it if you truly want the lowdown on the what and whys of dybbukim.Four stars for the vast information. Minus one for writing style.

    Did not like!

This book was very boring and hard to get into. This is a topic I'm interested in, but this had absolutely no draw.
