weight of clay
I know this is probably a nitpick but after the Rabbi had formed the Golem, and left it to dry(?), could he have lifted the "lifeless" clay and carried it down after it was dry? Just curious.
shareLife in Poland was hard. Rabbis were much stronger back then.
Serious answer: Probably not. I suspended my disbelief on several levels, such as how he'd be able to see, why he'd have to blink, and why the Rabbi made his hair so big. Also what the daughter would see in that poofter of a Herald.
