Accounts of miraculous teleportation occur in a number of religious traditions, such as Tay al-Ard (literally “folding of the earth”) in Islam; Kefitzat Haderech (“jumping of the path/road/way,” a Hebrew equivalent of the English expression “short cut”) in Judaism. Teleportation is also known in Tibetan Buddhism.
