		Tombstone of Rabbi Judah Loew (1525 - 1609)
		Rabbi Loew (sometimes spelled Löw) is revered as the legendary creator of the "golem" which is the Jewish version of the Frankenstein monster, although golem stories predate Frankenstein, going as far back as the 5th century.
		Rabbi Loew lived in the 16th century but the legend of his creation of a monster from the mud of the Vltava river in Prague only dates back to the 18th century when the story was first told.

	The Looking Glass - Alice's Academy - Vol.3 No.1
		In 1909, Rabbi Loew became the sole proprietor of the golem legends with the publication of Yudl Rosenberg's Nifla'ot Maharal im ha-Golem (The Golem or The Miraculous Deeds of the Rabbi Liva).
		Rabbi Loew also orders the golem to "guard the ghetto at night and catch those planting false evidence of the Blood Lie." However, Wisniewski's story again takes a turn away from the standard storyline when he has the rabbi find his creation standing in the street at sunrise.
		For example, by using an aerial view of Rabbi Loew and his golem standing on one side of the gates to the ghetto and the mob of angry Christians standing on the other side, Wisniewski dynamically juxtaposes these small figures of the rabbi and the mob against the gigantic, dominating figure of the golem.

	IN THE CAUSE OF ARCHITECTURE
		One of the most famous Cabalistic myths--originating in 16th century Central Europe, the place where Libeskind himself was born--is that of the Golem given life by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel of Prague.
		In myths like that of Rabbi Loew, a lifeless effigy is animated by the agency of a sacred word placed under its tongue.
		Boaz Ben Manasseh in The Architectural Review (June, 2001) observed that: "It is astonishing that Daniel Libeskind can write so much nonsense without endangering his reputation." But the architect has made it clear that he expects his buildings to communicate even to those who are unfamiliar with the apologies he provides for them.

		Their desperate flight brings them at last to the city of Prague--a center of culture, knowledge, and learning, both sacred and profane, a gateway between the Eastern and Western worlds, and also, it is whispered, a door between our world and the world of the spirits.
		There, in the city's ancient streets, Dee encounters the mystic Rabbi Judah Loew, who enlists his aid in the creation of a Golem--a man fashioned from the clay--to defend the city's Jewish Quarter from persecution.
		And if one of those righteous men dies before his time, the world will end and dark spirits will remake it in their own image.

		He took a lump of clay and created a man-servant which followed its master's every bidding, but, because of its limited intelligence, the golem could not be controlled.
