Edinburgh Jewish Literary Society – Angels in our own Traditions – Valery Rees – 8pm – hybrid

EJLC – Angels in our own Traditions – Valery Rees

Valery Rees will take this opportunity to look at some of the angels that appear in our own liturgies against a wider background of their origins and their later representations across the Religions of the Book. How did people know what the cheruvim on the cover of the mercy seat were supposed to look like? Was Satan the equivalent of the fallen angel Lucifer of the Christian tradition? Who were the angels who ‘fell’? and who are the angels we invoke in the song Shalom Aleichem?
