Eliyahu Baal Shem, a once renowned but now forgotten master of the Kabbalah, of Jewish mystical lore, had long given up on the making of golems. He regretted the golem he had once made in his youth, and he had sworn off creating another one. But then one day a stranger came to his house with a bizarre plea for help: A Polish nobleman had fallen in love with an inanimate, life-size doll of a woman, and he was convinced that this doll had once been a golem, fashioned by a great rabbi, that had been able to walk and talk. The nobleman threatened grave harm against the Jews on his lands unless they could find a rabbi with sufficient power to bring her back to life, so he could embrace and marry his beloved doll. Would Eliyahu Baal Shem, the stranger asked, return with him to save his community from their mad lord?
