Ben-Tsiyon Klibansky From: hasafran-bounces+bentsion=013....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu [mailto:hasafran-bounces+bentsion=013....@lists.service.ohio-state.edu] On Behalf Of ELEANOR TANDOWSKY Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2014 7:11 AM To: Hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Source or citation for a Midrash Our Rabbi gave a sermon this Shabbat about religious observances that continue even when Jews do not remember the place, the person (i.e., a Rabbi), or even the prayer that has been passed from one generation to another. He thought it might be midrash about the Golem of Prague. I do recall reading a story in which this happens, but could not find it in our Golem titles or Midrash collections. Does this admittedly incomplete reference question ring bells for anyone? Any clues or citations would be greatly appreciated.
