In Jewish folklore, a golem ( ; ) is an animated anthropomorphic being, created entirely from inanimate matter. The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and medieval writing.

The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late-16th-century chief rabbi of Prague. But there are many tales differing on how the Golem was brought to life and afterwards controlled. In Prague tale he was a entity created by the Rabbi Loew out of clay that is brought to life by inserting into his mouth a shem (capsule) with a magic formula, to immobilize you must pull the shem out. Rabbi also writes the German word for truth on his forehead. In movie The Emperor and the Golem the shem had form of a small ball which is placed in his forehead. In Polish tales and version of Brothers Grimm he was brought to life by inscripting the word emet (truth) on his forehead and to deactivate him you should rubb out the first letter of the word "emet" (truth or reality) leaving the Hebrew word "met", meaning dead.

The word golem occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16, which uses the word , meaning "my unshaped form". The Mishnah uses the term for an uncultivated person: "Seven characteristics are in an uncultivated person, and seven in a learned one,"

(שבעה דברים בגולם) Pirkei Avot 5:6 in the Hebrew text (English translations vary). In modern Hebrew golem is used to mean "dumb" or "helpless". Similarly, it is often used today as a metaphor for a brainless lunk or entity who serves man under controlled conditions but is hostile to him under others. "Golem" passed into Yiddish as goylem to mean someone who is clumsy or slow.
