Tefillin Barbie

Early on in the process of looking for images to illustrate the pages of this book, I came across some
photos of a Barbie doll that was wearing the tallit (Jewish prayer shawl), the tefillin on her arm and
forehead, and was holding a copy of the Talmud in one hand and a siddur (Jewish prayer book) in the
other. The Tefillin Barbie was created by Jen Taylor Friedman, who is a Soferet (a female Jewish
scribe). Ms. Friedman decided to dress up a Barbie doll to look like her fellow Soferets. She sells the
dolls for $150 each on her Etsy site. You can learn more about the dolls at the following webpage.

Interestingly, the Tefillin Barbie is wearing a t-shirt with the image of a black cat on it. This is

is a dress style common among her friends. The depiction of a black cat on the t-shirt was an
unintentional byproduct of purchasing a Halloween Barbie. Nevertheless, its presence as a symbol
of witchcraft, being the favored pet of witches, speaks of a relationship between rabbinic Judaism and
witchcraft that is very real, seldom recognized, and almost never admitted.

The role of a Jewish Scribe, or Sofer, has traditionally been a male occupation. The first female Sofer
in the modern era was certified in 2003. Her name is Aviel Barclay. She created a blog to serve as a
record of her groundbreaking experiences. At the top of the blog she has the following quotation
posted.

"Let us restore the Divine In-Dwelling to Her Place in Zion & infuse Her spirit throughout the
whole inhabited world."

This is an obvious reference to the “Divine Feminine,” or goddess worship. The practice of modern
Wicca, or witchcraft, is predominately goddess worship. As we observed in the chapter of this writing
titled Sabbath Summoning, the rabbinic Jews have incorporated the rites of candle magic and sex
magick into their Sabbath rituals as they invite the Sabbath Queen (Shabbat Hamalka) into their
homes and souls. It seems fitting, therefore, that this “Tefillin Barbie” should come adorned with a
symbol of witchcraft. As much as rabbinic Judaism proclaims that they are children of Abraham and
