Rabbi Loew was a rabbi who lived in Prague in the late 16th century.
History
To protect the Jewish community there from pogroms, in 1580 he created the Golem and brought it to life, then instructed it in its purpose. He is an ancestor of Max Loew. ("Golem")
Rabbi Loew's initial creation of the Golem may have been inspired by accounts of stone protectors outside of Prague. [1]
