So? He got confused, since, in the legend, the rabbi makes a clay figure and animates it, he does not do it to an existing statue. He had the right idea but applied it wrongly. Interestingly, in his novel Snow in August, set in Brooklyn in the late 1940s, Pete Hammill has a rabbi who is a refugee from Nazi Germany teach a Catholic teenager he befriends how to create the Golem.
