As Golems go - Benjamin Kuras

Interspersed with Jewish jokes, this is an “entertaining perusal of life and writings of the legendary rabbi Loew of Prague” (Jonathan Magonet in European Judaism), discovering him to be a surprising precursor of modern ethics, quantum mechanics, relativity theory, transpersonal psychology, psychosomatic medicine and cybernetics, but not the creator of the fairy-tale artificial humanoid known as The Golem. First published in 2000, it remains a fresh evergreen.
