Golem Guy Gets a Stamp
Golem - Tucheses and Nenes
The Czech Republic has issued a stamp honoring Rabbi Yehuda Loew ben Bezalel, who died 400 years ago this fall. Known for his treaties on philosophy, the Talmud, and law, he’s also credited with inventing the character of the Golem, to defend Prague’s Jews from accusations of blood libel. In addition to the stamp, the Imperial Stables at the Prague Castle is holding an exhibit about the rabbi through November.
Speaking of Golem, we recently had a fan video submitted to us from the band’s show at the Echo in Los Angeles on March 18th. One of the better fan videos we’ve seen around here. Check it out!!
