But they could not prevent the call which Herem sent.

The concept of herem was not unique to Israel.

It is likewise important to note, however, the extreme rarity of the herem in modern Jewish life.

It called itself turiya: it was known as Herem.

The herem may best be compared to the now-defunct excommunication vitandus.

The most famous case of a herem is that of Spinoza, the seventeenth century philosopher.

A milder form than either niddui or herem was the "nezifah" ban.

The word "devoted" (herem) is understood by Maimonides as a "complete and total transition" from one status to another.

The Hebrew word "herem" (חרם) referred to something forbidden or off-limits.

Turiya Herem could wield wild magic in the service of the Despiser.

Maimonides opines that this undesignated herem be given the priests by default.

Because the Greek word anathema meant things offered to God, it was used to translate the Hebrew word herem in such contexts.

Goaded by turiya Herem's malice, Joan continued to strike herself, measuring out her despair against her temple.

In Hebrew language the adjective herem (Hebrew חֵרֶם) means "devoted thing" or "thing devoted to destruction".

We knew that they were named Sheol, Jehannum, and Herem, and that they lived without bodies, feeding upon the souls of others.

And before they could defeat Herem, rescue Covenant, and retrieve the ring, that call was answered by the dead Elena, wielding the Staff of Law.

Disobedience appears in the story of Achan (stoned for violating the herem command), the Gibeonites, and the altar built by the Transjordan tribes.
