The Golem of Prague
by Gershon Winkler
Experience one of the most startling and controversial
metaphysical Jewish events of all time: the creation of a golem, a
man crafted out of clay by the exalted Rabbi Yehudah Loevy ben
Bezalel (the Maharal) of Prague to protect sixteenth-century Jews
from persecution.
The author skillfully captures the essence of
the golem and examines its aftermath objectively. Features a
dramatized adaptation of the documented adventures of the golem
and includes a comprehensive overview of Jewish mysticism, black
magic, demonology, miracles and science, plus a summary of other
golems in Jewish history. Read it for pleasure as well as
perspective.
