“Every universe, our own included, begins in conversation.
Every golem in the history of the world, from Rabbi Hanina's
delectable goat to the river-clay Frankenstein of
Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, was summoned into existence
through language, through murmuring, recital, and
kabbalistic chitchat – was, literally, talked into life.”
– Michael Chabon,
