The Golem: A New Translation of the Classic Play and Selected Short StoriesThe Golem, a creature made of clay and brought to life by Rabbi Leyb of Prague in the sixteenth century, has provided an enticing subject for fiction writers since the legend began. In some works, Rabbi Leyb gives birth to the Golem to help the Jews with the overbearing burden of their work. In others, the Golem is the protector of the Jews, keeping watch during the nights before Passover to make sure that a Gentile does not plant evidence for a blood

The Golem, a creature made of clay and brought to life by Rabbi Leyb of Prague in the sixteenth century, has provided an enticing subject for fiction writers since the legend began. In some works, Rabbi Leyb gives birth to the Golem to help the Jews with the overbearing burden of their work. In others, the Golem is the protector of the Jews, keeping watch during the nights before Passover to make sure that a Gentile does not plant evidence for a blood libel in a Jewish home. But the powerful Golem can also lose control and have to be destroyed. Joachim Neugroschel has brought together some of the best work featuring the Golem, including H. Leivick's masterful blank verse play; Yudl Rosenberg's "pamphlet" full of Golem tales; and stories by S. Bastomski, Dovid Frishman, and Y. L. Peretz, which he translates fluidly from the Yiddish.

No show but stays on
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I wear these socks daily. They truly don’t show with my workout shoes or with hey dudes. But the best thing about them is that they actually stay on your foot. I work out hard and I don’t ever have to pull them up. I do wish they were just a little bit thicker than they are, but they are definitely a product I will buy again.

Great for workouts
Size: 10.5, Color: (110) Summit White/White/Khaki Base
I bought these shoes for home workouts, both lifting and aerobics. They're very stable, have the perfect amount of cushion without compromising stability, and are comfortable. They run a bit small; I'm usually a 10, ordered a 10.5 and my toe is at the end. They're snug but not tight and seem to have a good amount of room in the toe box. I'd recommend these.

My walking shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: (418) Blue Smoke/White/Nu Blue
I bought these last year before a vacation when I knew we'd be doing miles of walking a day. I had ZERO blisters breaking them in and immediately walking 10k+ steps in them. Now they still get a lot of wear at home for outings when walking will be involved. No issues, very comfortable, would recommend!

Don’t pass these up!
Size: 9, Color: (673) Tourmaline Pink/Summit White/Maroon Mist
I’m 67 years old, 5’3” tall, and weigh 117 pounds. I bought these shoes to wear during my daily “walking workouts “. When I first tried the shoes on they seemed too firm but I decided to give them a try and I’m glad I did! The cushioning was excellent and there was ample toe room. The color of the shoes is the same as the picture - and is really pretty.
