The Golem

The learned rabbi and powerful miracle worker Jehuda Löw ben Becalel has slept in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague for almost four centuries. However, the story of how he created the Golem lives on to this day. They bowed together to the east, west, south and north, and then the rabbi slipped a strip of parchment bearing God's name under the tongue of his new creation. The figure, which had been lying peacefully, jerked and its body straightened with the energy its creator had put into it. The Golem was born. English version.
