Is a séance real?
Question
Rabbi, is a séance real? And how do you know it is real? (Sorry if I sound heretical.) It is really strange to me.
Answer
In Hashem's help.
Hello and blessings,
It seems that a séance is real, for the simple reason that thousands of people who engaged in it (not only mediums, who may be frauds, but even ordinary people) told identical stories about communicating with souls, and details they received through them (addresses, phone numbers, etc.), which they could not have known beforehand.
However, a séance is not in the category of proof, but rather more of a form of evidence.
Proof is something clear and unequivocal.
With blessings,
Daniel Bels
