(Jewish Group) What is the Jewish legend of the Golem? (video)
Ever heard of the Golem, the half superhero, half monster of Jewish legend? This creature, manifested from clay, has been serving Jewish needs, performing mundane tasks, and even defending entire Jewish communities for centuries. However, the Golem’s essence more importantly mirrors Jewish anxieties and desires, and serves as a profound commentary on power. As such, stories of the Golem morph with time, reflecting society's shifting narratives, and reminding us of the enduring lessons from ancient myths.
