The golem is incredibly good at this task, and fiercely defends the Jews and destroys the attacking enemies. He successfully brings the golem to life and charges it with protecting the Jews of the city from those who want to harm them.

He is given a dream in which a hand appears and writes the word ‘GOLEM’, a creature made from clay and brought to life with mystical Jewish words. During a time when the Prague Jews are being persecuted by others a Jewish rabbi, Judah Loew ben Bezalel is searching for a way to bring relief to his people.
