There is the 17th century Jewish legend of the Golem, an inanimate figure resembling a man (only bigger and stronger) that comes to life when a knowledgeable rabbi writes the secret name of God on a piece of parchment and affixes it to the Golem's forehead. The Golem then goes forth and fights against the Jews' oppressors. Tom Beck www.prydonians.org www.mercerjewishsingles.org "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
