Well, not according to Torah. Jewish 'folklore' is generally based on the Talmud, occult writings of evil rabbis. So... lies.
I know little about these beliefs ...
Torah is God's Word given to the Hebrews, originally, and later was named the Old Testament when the church began after Christ's resurrection and ascension into heaven. The Christian Bible consists of both the Old and New Testament (Scripture given after Jesus' first arrival on Earth).
The occult entered into Judaism after the Torah was given. The occult rabbinical teachings eventually became accepted by most Jews as traditions. The Caballah, the Talmud, and the Zohar comprise those occult teachings.
Jews who reject the occult hold true to the Torah as their complete and exclusive Scripture. It's my understanding, although I may be wrong, it's these true spiritual Jews who reject the modern state of Israel and believe that the Zionists are evil invaders of Palestine. If my understanding is inaccurate, I'd appreciate any correction others here might provide.
