ABSTRACT
SPACE permits me to deal with only a few of the customs and practices of the Jews in which folklore plays a part. The sun, as we have seen, occupies a certain place in Jewish Folklore, although less prominent than it does in the Folklore of other nations. No wonder therefore that ideas connected with the periods of the solstice and the equinox (Tekufah) should have penetrated into Judaism and given rise to certain superstitious beliefs and practices which have prevailed until the present.
