Golem of Prague

The Golem of Prague is a legendary Jewish myth about a mystical creature made from inanimate materials, usually clay or mud, brought to life through sacred Hebrew words and rituals. According to the story, Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague created the Golem in the 16th century to protect the Jewish community from persecution and harm. The Golem was obedient and powerful, but stories often warn that such creations could become uncontrollable. While rooted in legend, the Golem symbolizes themes of creation, protection, and the limits of human power.
