You are so very close, James. The novel is right, but the Rabbi is not.

Don't give up. Jame; you almost have him. Right novel, wrong rabbi.

Hint: His name sounds as if a Chinese or Japanese tries to pronounce a certain English or German family name

Yes; we are looking for the name of a certain character in the novel by Gustav Meyrink.

There is a character called Schemajah Hillel but I didn't he was based on anyone or was even real.

Yes, it is Hillel. Rabbi Hillel is a famous Jewiish Rabbi from around the time of the birth of Christ, and he appears in the novel of Meyrink too.
I think James deserves this one though; he did most of the work and was so close.

Unfortunately the Wikipedia entry does not point out Hillel is a rabbi,. But he is called so several times in the novel.

Meyrink, Bernhard and Jelinek
Hmmm, I do have one ready.

All three are definitely worth reading. If you want to read "The Golem" in English, get the translation by Mitchell and not the one by Pemberton.
