The Golem and the Wondrous Deeds of the Maharal of
Prague, a collection of interrelated stories about a
sixteenth-century Prague rabbi and the golem he created,
became an immediate bestseller upon its publication in
1909. More human, more capable, and more reliable as a
protector than any golem imagined before, Yudl
Rosenberg's Golem irrevocably changed one of the most
widely influential icons of Jewish folklore. Editor and

historical context and discusses the golem legend before
and after Rosenberg's contributions. A short film entitled
Golem 1941, directed by David Labi, will also be shown.
