“New Old Synagogue, Prague” With lyrics by Mitski from her song “Last Words of a Shooting Star”

In addition, a quote:

“And we miss him. [The Golem]. More than ever, we need his presence and perhaps even his mystery. As usual, the year promises to be one of punishment; I feel it in every bone in my body. I have lived through too many ordeals not to be able to predict what the future has in store. Oh, of course I have faith in God: I would not be a Jew if I did not have faith. But neither would I be a Jew if I were not afraid… I know that sometimes there are men who choose death because they wish to escape this wretched earth, which first bears us and then devours us. Ah, if only the Golem were still among us… I would sleep more peacefully. Why did the Maharal take him from us? Did he really believe that the era of suffering and injustice was a thing of the past? Felt that we no longer needed a protector, a shield? Tell me please, our Maharal who knew everything, did he not know that exile, after him, would become harder than before, even more cruel? That the burden would become heavier, more bloody? He could have left us his Golem; he should have. What did he fear?”

—Excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s ���The Golem”

i know this isnt like a super bad thing but it infuriates me to no end when non-jews use our folklore and folkloric creatures without doing literally any research. this isn't just writers or artists using golems and dybbuks without putting in thought as to how these are deeply important, significant creatures in our stories, it's also random people with horribly misconceptions about our folklore and stories. personally superstitions and folklore have always been one of my favorite parts of being jewish, and i HATE seeing our stuff used for cheap stuff. like i genuinely want to take our folklore away from goyim until they learn to do actual research and be respectful.

Another animation test. I like how in some versions of the Golem story the first thing Rabbi Loew has the Golem do is run some errands lol. ive created you to defend the jewish ghetto against antisemitic violence, could you pick something up at the grocery store for me pls

Does my heart good to see a Generic Fantasy Rock/Elemental Monster™️ and see it’s named something like “Rock Elemental” or “Stone Titan” instead of “Golem”

A lot of the flavor of this film ended up in Terry Gilliam's Brazil, five years later.
