Dybbuk exorcism (דיבוק, dybbuk)

Dybbuk belief and associated exorcisms are found in Jewish mythology and in some practices influenced by Kabbalistic and folk-religious contexts. A dybbuk is understood as a malicious possessing spirit, specifically the dislocated soul of a deceased person that can attach to and inhabit a living person. The short account in the provided source situates exorcism as the means by which such a spirit can be compelled to depart the host. The source does not provide detailed liturgy, procedural steps, materials, or specifications about who must perform the rite; it frames the phenomenon and outcome but leaves procedural details unspecified. As presented in the source, the rite's role is to restore the affected person's bodily autonomy by prompting the dybbuk to leave, sometimes after the spirit's alleged goal has been achieved or following the performance of exorcistic measures.
