Golem/superhero: amalek/haman reincarnated as local politician tries to frame Jews or Israelis for some Jewish conspiracy. Feivel the hidden Tzadik and his father Rav Doolittle think of what to do. They speak to the talking turtle doves who fly away to inform the super heroes in various parts of the planet (the 36 tzaddikim) that their services are needed. Not all are available because some doing miluim (Israeli army service), some are busy developing a new hi-tech biz in Israel, some have many Talmud student who need them at the yeshiva, two are on vacation in New York, and reluctantly leave their sun tanning and shopping to save the Jews. When they all arrive from Alaska to Ramallah (where one was posing as an Arab to gather terrorist info)they assemble at Rav Doolittle’s study and the story begins…how the plot is foiled will be further written by the students..
