Reply To: Golem of Prague

I know the stories are for sure not true. The person who wrote them in his book said that they were made up. But that is not where we know the golem of prague from. I don’t if know if for sure it’s true, but it’s not for sure not true.
I know of a story that the Rayaatz, the fifth lubavitcher rebbe, once went to prague with his father, the Rashab, when he was a kid. They were visiting the Altnue shul and the Rayaatz was so filled with curiosity that he snuck up to the attic, and looked around. I’m not sure what he saw, but the Rashab was very harsh with him and told him that he suffered for months after because of what he did.
Now, even if there weren’t any remains found, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen – we can’t either find a the aron or any of the keilim, they were hidden so well.
The maharal wanted nobody to find his golem, he knew how desrutcive it could be. It’s very possible on of his talmidim hid the remains so nobody could use it again.
I think he hid it between the seforim.
