What is golem definition?

A golem is a creature from Jewish mysticism and folklore, created from inanimate material such as clay or mud. The word "golem" is derived from the Hebrew word "gelem," meaning "raw material" or "unformed substance." According to legend, the golem can be created by a rabbi or other holy person using kabbalistic rituals and incantations. Once brought to life, the golem is a powerful and obedient servant. But without proper command or control, a golem can become dangerous and go wild. The most famous golem story is about the Golem of Prague, created by Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel in the 16th century to protect the Jewish community from persecution.
