Reply To: Can a Golem Speak?

I’ve no idea what the old man is writing. What Rashi?!?

Can one just laugh at sugya like that. Chayav – no, it was really patur, only in a dream it appears chayav.

Gemarah repeats a few times where tzadikim would create a creature on erev shabbos lkovod shabbos. (by holy forces, intoning the names of Hashem) Sure, one might laugh, a dream, they thought they were learning and creating, they dreamed they were eating and enjoying. Sure. And the gemarah sees fit to record their fantasies for posterity.
