What is a Jewish golem?
A golem is the creation of clay with the infusion of the breath of life. Read about the scientific theory of life from clay.
Legend explains how to use the Kabbalah
to create a golem. The ancient Hebrew manuscript "Sefer Yetzirah" has
been attributed to a source of golem creation from inert material. But,
no where in this manual is a step-by-step guide on creating a golem.
Yet, there are hints. Read about the Book or Creation.
"Golem" is the Hebrew word for an unformed mass or body. When you "roll" (GL) the body into a form, and utter phrases over its body, you can bring the golem to life.
The Jewish mysticism methods handed down over the centuries are usually the same- form a body for the golem; create a mantra to utter over it; transfer your soul or some named soul into the golem through your breath; and often, put a parchment with some sacred writings inside its mouth or write on its forehead.
The golem is suppose to move on its own- an independent automaton. Today's version of the cyborg.
Techniques to create a golem
There are many variations on how this way actually done. But all agree- it can be done.
In Jewish mysticism, the "Sefer Yetzirah"
(Book of Creation or Book of Formation) holds the key to the actual
instructions to form the mantra or spell that induces the transfer. The
Book of Creation was originally written in Hebrew, then translated into
Latin, Yiddish and other languages, including many versions in English.
The English versions are often based on
Latin translations which were not very clear in understanding Jewish
mysticism. Christian Kabbalah is often slanted toward religious
philosophies not found in Judaism. hence, many misunderstandings and
distortions in translations occured- and persist to this day.
The Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is
intertwined in the creation of a golem. Reciting the combination of the
Hebrew letters with each other, then the letters with the vowels
produces a substantial change in consciousness- the golem emerges. More

Piecing a golem together
On this web site, the keys can be found to
make this miracle of life happen, according to the great Jewish rabbis
who left clues for
future generations to rediscover. Those keys begins with some of the recommended books and studies found on these pages.
The golem is real. It has been documented in science that the inanimate can animate under the right conditions.
Electricity brings our world to life by
self-powering almost everything we use- TVs, ACs, lights computers,
refrigerators, even robots. Portable batteries carry small amounts of
energy without the need for cables or wires.
We accept this transfer of energy as commonplace and expect it to assist in our lifestyle.
Robots are today's golems. Their life force
is induced by electricity to conduct specifically programmed
activities- build cars, bottle and package foods and other items. In the
next few years, you will be able to buy portable robots that will
vacuum your carpet by itself. Those robots will be available for sale
through here soon!
There aren't any recent reports of golem
making, either in books on the Internet web pages or blogs. If you know
of anyone who has created a golem, email this site and share your story.
There are so many techniques and "authoritative" instructions on how to create a golem, or bring a golem to life.
But many of them lack the details needed to
know how to construct the creature. Most of the techniques are
described in books about Rabbi Lowe of Prague and his creation of a
golem. But, these stories are just stores from the authors and may not
have much substance. Read about the different methods used to create a Golem..
