Stranger than a Golem: The Hidden World of the Maharal of Prague
- Pacific Time Virtual Program
$54.00
Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel (1524-1609)—the Maharal of Prague—is famous for the Golem legend, but his actual philosophical and theological system is far more complex and daring than the myth suggests. Together, we will explore selections from the Maharal’s prolific writings, examining his ideas about language, Torah study, the nature of time, and the relationship between the divine and the material world. The Maharal's unique blend of rationalism and mysticism has much to offer the modern spiritual seeker. Come discover the man behind the legend.
Who this is for: Anyone curious about Jewish philosophy, theology, or mysticism, and interested in exploring the thought of Rabbi Judah Loew (the Maharal of Prague) beyond the Golem legend.
What you'll leave with: A deeper understanding of the Maharal’s ideas on language, Torah study, time, and the divine, and insights into how his blend of rationalism and mysticism can inform modern spiritual inquiry.
Three Mondays: February 9, 16, and 23rd at 7–8:30pm Pacific
