SUMMARY:The Golem: An Exploration of Jewish Lore\, part 3
DESCRIPTION:Made from the earth and animated by spiritual knowledge\, the g
 olem serves its creator and protects the Jewish people... for a time. From
  Rabbinic writings to "The X-Files\,” from Kabbalistic teachings to "The
  Terminator\," we’ll explore how this dynamic figure continues to shape 
 Jewish (and Western) art and fiction. Each of the three sessions will util
 ize text and media clips to explore a different aspect of the golem's stor
 y. Source sheets (and a brief synopsis of preceding classes) will be offer
 ed in each session. Sponsored by the Beth El Adult Education Committee.\n\
 nSession 1: The Golem Created (February 20)\nWe’ll explore Rabbinic and 
 Kabbalistic texts on crafting a golem.&nbsp\;What are the powers (and limi
 tations) of this awesome figure?&nbsp\;How did this Jewish legend begin to
  influence European storytelling?\nSession 2: The Golem Revealed (February
  27)\nThe golem's original calling was to protect the Jewish people. Somet
 imes\, however\, that went awry... In this session\, we'll delve into mate
 rials from the modern period that explore how the golem's mission was expa
 nded (and diverted) as it became a danger even to its creator.\nSession 3:
  The Golem Redeemed (March 6)\nIn recent years\, the golem has become a st
 aple of speculative fiction. Our final conversation will explore how the g
 olem has come to offer us insights into interpersonal relationships\, spir
 itual quests\, and personal growth.\nClick here for Golem source sheet.\n\
