Also, about the golems, I found a paragraph on golemancy in one of my books:

'A golem is a man-figure made of mud or clay, activated by spells and by a special word written either on its forehead or on a parchment placed in its mouth. One of the words used is emeth, meaning 'life'. When the word is removed. it collapses - on at least one occasion crushing its master. The most famous golem maker, according to legend, was the Rabbi of Prague, Judah Loew ben Bezaleel (1525-1609). He used a golem as a servant, but always carefully rested it on a Friday so it would be still during the Sabbath (Saturday). One day he forgot, and only just had time to stop it by removing the parchment from the golem's mouth as it plodded towards the synagogue. The figure turned to dust and it's remains are said to lie in the synagogue's attic.'

I have absolutely no clue what it was doing walking towards the synagogue. Maybe golems have a distate for religion? Who knows.
