The Jews are the world's biggest liars and have built their reputations on lies, fables and deceits. The golem boogie man was first devised by the rabbis who had congregations that were not sufficiently submissive to the "power" of the rabbis or sufficiently cowed with the rabbi's "wisdom" and "learning".

At the yearly rabbinical meetings during the Polish merchantile festivals, the rabbis would discuss their problems and if they had sufficient need, a big and strong yeshiva student from a distant town and unknown to the "needy" rabbi's villagers would be placed on "loan" for the duration of the problematic situation.

At an appropriate time, after the rabbi had made sufficient and terrible threats against the intransegent Jews of his village or town, he would get a wagon and go alone to a secluded stream or river, allegedly to gather clay to make a golem. There, the yeshiva student would meet him, lay down in the wagon and the rabbi would cover him with clay so that he resembled a man-shaped dummy and then drive him back into town under the noses of the increasingly alarmed and thoroughly superstitious villagers.

Once the wagon was driven into the inner court of the rabbis house and the doors closed, the various loud incantations and loud chanting would begin. Soon thereafter, the rabbi would appear followed by a hulking and weird acting golem. If he talked or made any sound, his human reality would be revealed. And as the faithful servant of the rabbi, instantly doing his every order, the terror-striken villagers soon began to do likewise. If the rabbi wanted anyone beat up or heavy tasks accomplished, the golem jumped to the duty. Once the villagers were sufficiently deceived and cowed, the rabbi would make a big show of driving the golem back out of town to throw the "clay" back into the river. Or the golem would simply disappear (and return home smiling at the joke) and the rabbi would hide his original clay covering and clothes in the attic and under the most horrible imprecations and curses forbid anyone from every entering there.

And thus, the Golem of the Jews was created.
