The Jerusalem Post reviews Engolement, a new live-action role-playing game (LARP) in Jerusalem where participants play golems living in a shtetl. The game, created by Lian Yedidya, Hila Meinrath, and Natan Skop, is a collaboration between Theater and Theology and Theater in the Rough. It was originally developed for the 2025 Schechter Gallery exhibition in Tel Aviv. The reviewer, Yael Unterman, has not yet played but is familiar with the high quality of both theater companies. She highlights the game's potential for Jewish education and notes that no acting experience is required. The game runs Sept 27 and 28 at the Mamuta Art & Research Center at Hansen House.
