After The Dybbuk, The Golem was Habima's most acclaimed production. It opened on March 15, 1925, when Habima was still a studio of the Moscow Art Theatre, and since then it has run for 340 performances on three continents. In 1926, the company toured Europe and the United States, performing The Golem with two other plays. When the company visited Palestine in 1928, the play was revived, and later, in 1948, it was staged in America again. In New York, it was chosen—on the basis of box office demand—as an extra bill for the final week of Habima's season at the Broadway Theatre. In 1954, The Golem represented Israel in the First International Theatre Festival in Paris.

The production excelled in its acting, being a perfect example of the unique expressionistic style that made the Habima players so famous in The Dybbuk.
