Description
In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is an unquiet spirit who takes possession of a living person. The folklorist and playwright S. Ansky staged "The Dybbuk" in Warsaw in 1920, and in 1937 the play was made into a Yiddish-language movie. It tells the story of a poor yeshiva student who turns to the Kabbalah in pursuit of the magical power that would enable him to marry his beloved, the daughter of a wealthy man. He dies in the effort, and his spirit returns to claim his love on the eve of her marriage to the rich man her father has chosen.
