Golem

In Jewish lore hides a fascinating story of the golem, a monster of sorts that rabbis can raise up from the dust to protect the Jews. (It makes for a lovely childrens' book, entitled GOLEM, but David Wisniewski -- it is a Caldecott winner.)

Today on FoxNews are several sad reports of Jews in Gaza who feel betrayed by the Israeli government as they are forced to withdraw. This, after so many years of violence and bloodshed.

I wonder what would happen if the Jews could call up a Golem today. How would a modern Golem change the face of a turbulent, dark stage that shadows us all?
