Golem

The golem, a man-shaped creature without a soul, has stirred imaginations for centuries, from Hasidic legend and Yiddish literature to popular culture. Here it leads into a shtetl in Podolia in the early twentieth century, where kabbalistic and messianic threads are balanced by a realistic picture of Hasidic life and customs.
