Golly Golem

Though I’m sure they’re out there I’ve never seen any Jewish people complain about the use of golems in fantasy. In fact, I’ve never seen any Jewish people talk about the use of golems in fantasy at all and I’m curious what your thoughts are on the subject if you’re Jewish.

As someone who has Jewish roots that were completely lost during WWII not because my Jewish family was killed but because they hid their religion and pretended to be Christians even to their own children to keep them safe, going so far as to claim our dark hair and brown eyes were due to a single Spanish ancestor, I’m always deeply fascinated by the use of golems as an allegory for Jewish heritage, but I also thought the use of golems as moving gardens in Dungeon Meshi was unbelievably cute. However, while I relate to gentile characters with lost Jewish heritage I don’t consider myself Jewish and wouldn’t dream of giving my opinion on anything as a Jew, which is why I really want to know what Jewish people who grew up in a Jewish culture feels about the use of golems in fantasy like Minecraft and Dungeon Meshi.

Glasgolem, 2022

earlier this year i was honored to be asked to do the cover for issue #1 of Golem Zine, a series showcasing voices from lesser-known Jewish communities around the world. this first issue celebrated Jewish life & culture in Glasgow, and creating this cover involved a deep dive into the history of Glaswegian Jewish art & architecture.
