The Golem and the wondrous deeds of the Maharal of Prague

Reading Group of the 'Call'

Wednesday, May 7,

Call de Girona

The Chief Rabbi of Prague, known as the Maharal, brings the golem Yossele to life to help the Jews fight false accusations of ritual murder - the infamous blood libel. More human, more capable, and more reliable as a protector than any golem imagined before, Rosenberg's Golem irrevocably changed one of the most widely influential icons of Jewish folklore.

Book available in the library of the Nahmanides Institute for Jewish Studies and in the museum shop.
