The Golem of Prague is a legendary creature from Jewish folklore, created in the 16th century by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, also known as the Maharal of Prague. According to the tale, the Golem was made from clay and brought to life through mystical rituals to protect the Jewish community from persecution. The Golem is often depicted as a large, humanoid figure, serving as a protector and servant. However, stories suggest that it became uncontrollable, leading to its eventual deactivation. The legend symbolizes themes of creation, responsibility, and the consequences of unchecked power in Jewish mythology.
