Q. What do you think about magic?

A. Some view kabbalism (Jewish mysticism) and miracles as magic. Orthodox Jews views such acts as works of God, as magic is forbidden. In the Torah (Jewish Bible), Aaron throws down his staff in front of Pharaoh and it becomes a snake, swallowing the staffs of Pharoaoh's sorcerers.
