"The Simpsons": Boy Meets Golem

i thought it was kinda a cute story. i first learned the story of the Golem when i was about 10 years old and i watched Gargoyles/ there was an episode that had Goliath and Lisa and Bronx trying to return home from avalon (a long lasting adventure that took many episodes) and they came across a Jewish community in europe somewhere and there was alot of gang violence and mafia activity so a young jewish man was trying to bring the Golem to life again to protect the community. of course there were many hitches, but in the end the Golem wound up in the right hands again. it was very repectful of the legend and the people that it came from. i miss that show.

Singer based his book on the original legend as passed down by Katz who just happened to be the Maharal's son-in-law. The crimes committed by the banker, the printing house and the Golem were more than legend but in actuality historical facts. So much so that Meisel had everything confiscated by the crown upon his death as compensation for the crimes committed by his family printing house. The perpetrators, events, and repercussions are all true. Unfortunately, in the current legend as it’s written, the villains have all been hailed as heroes and the true saviors have been practically erased from the pages of history.
The reality was that in the year of 1588, the city of Prague was held in the grip of terror, victim to the murderous rampage of an inhuman monster created from the seeds of hatred and sown through religious intolerance and mortal greed. Therefore the legend of the Golem must be viewed from this perspective to appreciate it fully.
I strongly recommend reading Shadows of Trinity released by Eloquent Books http://www.eloquentbooks.com/ShadowsOfTrinity.html in order to compare the legend against the docuentation. In this story, there is an exposure of those intentionally proclaimed as its heroes to be nothing more than the notorious villains who were prepared to destroy their own world.
Shadows of the Trinity, for the most part, is a non-fiction historical novel, revealing a series of strange and world-shattering events that occurred during the years 1588 and 1589 in Prague, the Bohemian capital of the Austro-Hungary Empire. It is a social commentary on why people believe that in order to achieve something good that they must commit evil to do so.
