Named Golem II, the computer memorializes Dr. Von Karman's ancestor, the famed Rabbi Judah Low of Prague, as does Golem I, its predecessor. Dr. Von Karman, who became a fellow of the Weiz- mann Institute of Science in 1960, ,was deeply impressed with the then emerging at the Insti- tute for a self-built computer. He asked that the computer be called The Golem in memory of Rabbi Low. Dr. Von Karman did not live to see Golem I become fully op- erative in November 1964. Golem I, more precise than com- puters currently available, was de- signed and constructed by scien- tists and engineers of the Weiz- mann Institute at one-third the cost of others. Two other compu- ters, much larger and costing six times as much, are faster. The new computer is now be- ing built at Rehovoth with the help of Norman Zimbel, an en- gineer from Newton, Mass, who has taken a year's leave of ab- sence from the Mitre Corpora- , tion of Bedford, Mass., to par- ticipate in the work. Zimbel stated that he is im- pressed with the dedication and in- genuity of the scientific comunity of Israel as he has seen it in re- lationship to electronic and com- puter activity. There are, at pres- ent, some 20 computers in Israel and about an equal number on order of various varieties, pur- poses and speeds.
The Golem of Prague, fromwhich the Weizmann Institutecomputers derive their name,was created at a time of greatperil for the Jews by Rabbi Low,a legendary figure in Jewishhistory of the Middle Ages.According to legend, Rabbi Lowwas inspired to build and providethe animation for The Golem bya divine voice which allegedly re-vealed the formula to him in adream. With the help of his twosons-in-law, pious and learnedmen, he built the Robot. The Gol-
em executed the commands ofRabbi Low, performing all kindsof services for him for the bene-fit of the Jewish community.Among the feats attributed toThe Golem was his exposure ofthe falsity of the accusation of rit-ual murder against the Jews andof those who spread the libel,leading to their apprehension.Every Friday, on the eve of Sab-bath, the life-giving formula wasremoved from The Golem, to pre-vent the accidental profanationof The Sabbath.One Friday evening, so goes thelegend, Rabbi Low forgot to with-draw the life-giving formula fromthe Robot, and the Robot ranamok. Fearful of an impendingSabbath desecration and possiblemenace to the city, the Rabbi pur-sued the Robot, but caught up withhim only outside the synagogue.There the Robot fell apart. The re-mains of The Golem are believedto be buried among the debris ofthe ancient Synagogue of Prague.Dr. Von Karman, a direct lin-ear descendant of Rabbi Low,was born in Budapest, Hungaryin 1881 and became a naturalizedcitizen of the United States.A physicist and aeronautical en-gineer, he was one of the mosthighly decorated men in the scien-tific world, contributing to the de-velopment of the Jet Age by re-search findings on the theory ofelasticity; strength of materials;hydrodynamics; supersonic soundtunnels; mathematical methods inengineering. He served as head ofvarious aeronautical institutionsin the United States and abroad,and as consultant to the U.S.Army, the U.S. Air Force, andNATO.
