About this ebook
Much of his voluminous work has not been translated and therefore is not accessible to the English-reading public - until now. The "Gur Arye," Maharal's supercommentary on the classic biblical commentator Rashi, is full of surprises, brimming with unique thoughts and diversions into rarely discussed Torah ideas. Kabbala is seamlessly woven into his text, and his work delves into such issues as: Why did Moshe marry a non-Jew? When is it time to stop praying? Did Hashem orchestrate the Golden Calf? Is there Torah in the World to Come? Why are the righteous not rewarded in this world?
