summary

A celebrated work in which the author provides his innovative commentary to the Passover narrative. Fusing mystical teachings with his novel world view, Maharal’s conception of Jewish thought would have an outsize impact on later Jewish thinkers, among them R. Shnuer Zalman of Liadi and R. Abraham Isaac Kook.
