As an orthodox Jew (who has not always been) it is always both hilarious and baffling how Hollywood and all other studios can never get it right when depicting orthodox Jews. The pronunciation of keys words such as Tatte being said as "tah tay" is ridiculous! For goodness sake people get a real orthodox person as a consultant PLEASE!!!. If only they could create something really exciting to depict the stories of the Golem with realistic Jewish characters. If only Steven Spielberg would take up a project like this. Maybe it would be done right. Even the facts of creating a Golem was never done this was 2000 years ago. Not unless you are thinking of the source of Sanhedrin 65b. They should have base their sources much later with the Maharal of Prague. Even the name Isaac Luria, supposedly based on the "Ari" is so off. I was so hoping for something believable. This was awfully fake, as most depictions of religious Jews are.

Brilliant Episode one of the Xfiles best it's interesting creepy It's one of the best in the series.

As for the two halfwits claiming it's Racist and inaccurate I'm referring to. Regbeg 194 and Joji 1997

Clearly they not working with a full deck

The Acting was outstanding the Story was educated and the info was indeed accurate agin ignore the halfwits all other reviews are favorable

Onto the review The episode is this

A hate crime leads to a disturbing series of murders that may involve a being from Jewish folklore bent on revenge. I won't give more then that as it is far better to go in with little info

It's a fantastic episode that is a nice change from the Government Conspiracy arc's the show does 10\10 give it a go.

It's a love story with demonic undertones.

I find myself rather perplexed by the episode's relatively low score, it's one that I'll admit I watched twice, but that's only because I didn't fully digest the plot first time around.

Well worth giving this one a chance, I thought it was an excellent offering. I'll praise Series 4 once again, for delivering such a unique mix and blend of episodes, how on Earth they managed such a broad range is incredible.

The visuals worked incredibly well, and years later the special effects still look good to me.

I understand there will be some feelings about the tone, issues of race etc, but I think they showed the racists and bigots for what they were, cowards.

Hugely impressed me, 9/10.

One of the most, if not the most, poignant episode of the X-Files. Ariel Weiss (skillfully and beautifully played by Justine Miceli) and Isaac Luria are two, young orthodox Jews betrothed to one another. Ariel's father, a Holocaust survivor, discovers a re-birth of his hopes for the future through his daughter's love for Isaac and their impending wedding. In a cruel twist of fate, Isaac becomes the victim of a hate crime and is brutally shot to death shortly before their wedding. Ariel was not afforded the opportunity to express her love for Isaac one last time nor was she able to say a final good-bye.

Through the sheer power and intensity of her love for Isaac and her faith, Ariel creates the opportunity to meet with Isaac one last time, tell him of her undying love and bid him a final good-bye.

A story of love, loss and a fulfilled wish to have one final opportunity to say, "I love you" and to say "Good-bye".

For anyone who has lost someone they dearly love and has often wished to see them one last time.

I've watched this episode over and over. The ending is beautiful and so very poignant. From ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

An episode that left my heart aching but also made me feel a sense of joy and thankfulness I'd say, a bitter sweet episode I'd call it perhaps.

I would not int any way say it's racist, I found it beautiful and if anything I rather felt more of a curiosity to learn more about the Jewish faith and especially about the more Orthodox Jews. But then again, I'm not Jewish and shouldn't tell Jews if they should feel offended or not.

In my eyes it was an incredibly beautiful story and one of few episode as of late that has held me completely captivated. Other episodes have been good, fantastic even, but this one captured my heart.
