To help advertise the new book The Jewish Body by Melvin Konner, the publisher made a funny little video about a modern day Golem in Brooklyn. Of course, hilarity ensues and mission accomplished – I’m showing you the video thus advertising the book.

Rabbi: Golem we have summoned you to protect us from invaders.

Golem: Um, you created me to destroy your enemies? I mean, have you seen this body? What do you want me to do – file their taxes to death?

Enjoy the full video below.
