Chava is a golem created from clay by a rabbi with intentions of making her a wife to a man who has died at sea. Ahmad, a jinni, was created by fire in the Syrian desert and trapped in an old copper flask until being released in New York City. As Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature intertwine, a mystical connection forms between Ahmad and Chava. While this story reads as a magical tale of romance, it also brilliantly touches on meaningful philosophical questions to bring the immigrant experience to light through folklore.
