I have been trying to get Elliot to sleep alone in his own room. I moved into the bedroom next-door. But he still can’t do it. He cries hysterically in the dark to the point where I think he’ll pee his pants although he hasn’t actually done that. He thinks a rabbi can get rid of ghosts in the house. There is a cleaning ghost who lives in the basement and possibly other ghosts too but definitely a cleaning ghost even though our house is always a mess. anyway, I spoke to the Rabbi today and explained the situation. He is also a father of young kids. He understands, he is coming over Sunday early evening to exorcise the ghosts. He said he’d be delighted to add another title to his name.
He also said Judaism believes in ghosts and that he grew up with stories of the Dybbyk and others (I will get their names later because I want to read about them). But he did say he didn’t know how much of it is actually real and how much “pop culture”.
