In the comic series Girl Genius, the forcible insertion of the mind of Agatha's mother, the main villain Lucrezia Mongfish/"The Other", into her own was compared to a Dybbuk by one of her followers when reporting the situation to someone else.
During the 16th Jewish Culture Festival in July 2006, Hadari staged The Dybbuk as a dramatic séance at the Izaak Synagogue in Kazimierz, Cracow.
Aside from working in his youth as a vaudeville performer and actor on stages in Poland, Liebgold gained fame by acting in several Yiddish language films including Yidl Mitn Fidl and The Dybbuk.
