Summary
Before she touched it, Leora closed her eyes and whispered a small truth to the golem: "I googled my foot pain thing, and I think I might be developing bunions?"
It was a tiny truth -- nothing like enough to breathe a golem to life -- but it was still important to be respectful. She might not come from a long line of golemkraft practitioners, but some traditions were there for a reason.

Interlude -- Leora's favourite joke:
There once was a rabbi who was an avid golfer. Couldn't get enough of it. Golf here, golf there, golf where no golf should be.
On Yom Kippur itself, the holiest day of the year, he slipped out after his morning duties for a quick round of golf.
God and Elijah were looking down on him.
"Did you see that?" Elijah said. "And him a rabbi! For shame!"
"Watch this," said God.
As the rabbi teed off, a sudden wind knocked his aim, and instead of the straight and true drive of the practised golfer, he hit the ball at an angle.
The ball sailed through the air, bounced off the trunk of a nearby tree, bounced off the golem quietly mowing the grass, bounced off the head of a passing duck, and landed square in the hole.
As the rabbi jumped for joy, Elijah asked God, "What kind of punishment is that? He's just had the greatest hole-in-one of his life."
"Ah," said God, "but who's he going to tell?"
...
"I was all, 'Sorry, I briefly had a stray thought about my hot straight friend,' and you were all, 'I must panic-bury myself in work, unearth a bunch of family trauma, and then hit on my friend while she's sad and vulnerable'?" The sharpness of the words was belied by the warmth in Ivy's voice, by the way she was smiling, her whole body angled towards Leora now.
Leora nodded again.
