Rabbi Emanuel ShaharAlmandal is a subject Rabbi Emanuel Shahar studies and presents through his content channels. The Rabbi also states that he performs an Almandal ritual. Those wishing to explore the subject can begin with his own presentation and the dedicated Almandal section of the Tiferet Malchut Shlomo library.
Understanding before drawing conclusions
A first encounter with a mysterious subject can raise many questions. What does the name mean? Which sources are presented? How does the Rabbi interpret them? Rather than begin with assumptions, write down these questions and consider how each source addresses them.
In his video, the Rabbi discusses Almandal and Istanzil in the context of traditions concerning communication with kings of spirits. The discussion presents traditional ideas as he describes them; its inclusion here does not establish a supernatural phenomenon as proven.
Two ways into the subject
The first is the video: an opportunity to hear the Rabbi’s own explanation. The second is the library: a place to explore material devoted to the subject and return to it at your own pace. It is useful to distinguish the text being presented from the interpretation that accompanies it.
How to continue studying
Choose one question from the video, check whether it is discussed in the library and keep a record of the source. Questions that remain can be raised through an organised enquiry to the Rabbi’s office. This article is an introduction to study, not a practical ritual manual.
