animals - Werewolf in the Torah


I have been told that there are Pirushim on the Torah who speak of werewolves.


Can anyone locate them?



Answer



The (rarely-seen) commentary of Rabbeinu Ephraim ben Shimshon on the Torah states that Benjamin was a werewolf; the fear that he would die should he leave his father Jacob is that he would turn back into a werewolf and be killed in self-defense by some person. Make of it what you will. Hat tip to Yitzhak of Bein Din L'Din. (See link for more.)
