Sorry, I can't directly recommend a novel with just this description. However, if you search for cross - cultural crime novels, especially those that involve Nordic and American elements, you may find what you're looking for. You could start with well - known crime novel publishers and look through their catalogs for something that might fit this rather unique combination.

Another possibility is that there are traditional Japanese novels that feature lakes in a more historical or cultural context. These could be stories that are set in feudal Japan and use the lake as part of the natural landscape that the characters interact with, perhaps as a source of livelihood or as a place of spiritual significance.

I'm not sure which specific novel is directly related to 'for my great folly' as it's a rather unusual phrase. However, some novels deal with themes of folly in general. For example, 'The Great Gatsby' could be seen in a way as a story about great folly. Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy is filled with misjudgments and actions that lead to his downfall, which could be considered as a form of folly.

One possible 'polar bear' related light novel could be 'Polar Bear Cafe'. It's a really cute and fun light novel that features a polar bear running a cafe. The story is filled with interesting animal characters and their daily interactions.

There are stories where fishermen have reported strange sightings in Bear Lake. They say they saw something huge moving under their boats, which they suspected was the bear lake monster.

One such book could be 'The Bear Who Wouldn't Leave' which might incorporate elements of Jewish culture and a girl's encounter with a bear in a fictional context. However, it might be a bit hard to find specifically Jewish - themed ones with this exact combination.

There's also 'The Human Stain'. It deals with issues of race, identity, and scandal in an academic setting. Roth's ability to weave together complex themes and create believable characters makes this work a significant part of his body of work related to the 'great American novel' concept.
