I’m not kveching! You’re all being historically inaccurate!
A lot of those older, Kabbalistic practices & beliefs became outdated from, like, the Industrial Revolution onward. It was called “The Haskole.” Enlightenment.

Every horror story has a figure like that. Someone who doesn’t cause the problem. Doesn’t solve it either. they just make sure it finishes.
