The Animated Story of the Golem of Chełm.

Looking to introduce some younger folks in your life to the famous golem that’s inspired the Jewish folklore for centuries? I thought so.

Last week, Polish cultural organization Odrobina Kultury, with backing by the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw, released The Golem of Rabbi Elijah, the latest video in a series of animated folkloric shorts drawn from Polish minority cultures entitled Cztery Strony Bajek, or “Four Directions of Fairy Tales.” Co-produced with Polish Yiddish organization Fundacja Jidysz, The Golem of Rabbi Elijah is an adaptation of the classic Golem story, and is available in English, Hebrew, Yiddish, and Polish. It’s easy to follow and cute, with bright colors, bits of slapstick, and a golem with glowing eyes whose semblance is equal parts robot and Frankenstein.
