Maharal’s Be’er Hagolah extrapolates hidden messages and meaning from the Aggadic portions of the Talmud, with the intention of displaying the depth of Chazal’s understanding of the Torah and the world. The work is comprised of seven sections described as ‘wells.’ The deeper one digs, the purer the water - Torah - one finds.
