Many hundreds of years ago, there lived many Jewish families in the city of Prague.

Although they worked hard, many people in Prague didn't like them. Sometimes Jewish businesses were looted.

Sometimes their houses were burned. And sometimes they were killed.

In that time, there was a wise Rabbi, a great teacher, living in Prague. His name was Rabbi Loew. He knew a way to help his people.

He would build a man of Clay. He would make the Golem.

Rabbi Loew shaped clay into the shape of a man's body. And when he was done, he walked around the clay man seven times, chanting shanti !shanti !dahat !dahat!

The Golem then opened his eyes and sat up ! "Golem", said Rabbi Loew, " I've made you so you can help and protect my poeple " The Golem nodded.

" Every day I'll tell you what to do " continued Rabbi Loew
