Demonic Desires

by Ishay Rosen-Zvi

  • First published:
  • 21st century
  • Language: French

This study examines the concept of yetzer hara , or evil inclination. Analyzing the some one hundred and fifty appearances of the yetzer in rabbinic literature, Rosen-Zvi contends that the term should not be read under the traditional rubric of sexual desire, but rather in the context of ancient Jewish demonology.
