Golem

Isaac Bashevis Singer

"The Golem" is a novel by Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer, which presents a traditional story of the golem from Jewish folklore. The work was first published in Yiddish in 1969, and the author himself translated the novel into English in 1982.

Set in Prague during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II, the Jewish community is suffering under pressure and accusations. When Jewish banker Eliezer is falsely accused of kidnapping and using Christian blood in rituals, Rabbi Liew creates a golem—a giant man made of clay—to protect his people and expose the truth. The golem, brought to life by the sacred words written on its forehead, manages to free Eliezer and expose the lies of his accusers.

However, when the rabbi attempts to use the golem for tasks beyond its original purpose, the golem begins to develop a will of its own and refuses to obey, leading to unforeseen consequences. This story explores themes of power, responsibility, and the limits of human intervention in the natural order.

Singer’s version of the golem legend is distinguished by its warmth and philosophical wisdom, providing readers of all ages with insight into the rich Jewish tradition and universal human values.
