The Lion Cub of Prague: Genesis

Thought, Kabbalah, Hashkafa from Gur Arye, The Maharal of Prague.
Commentary on the Torah and Rashi's commentary by Rabbi Yehudah Loew of Prague - The Maharal translated into English.

Rabbi Yehudah Loewe (1512-1607) is credited with the creation of the Golem, but more importantly, served as the rabbinic leader to European Judaism during the 16th century. Much of his voluminous work has not been translated and therefore is not accessible to the English reading public until now.

Gur Arye is full of surprises, brimming with unique thoughts and diversions into rarely discussed Torah ideas. Kabbalah is seamlessly woven into his text, and his work delves into such issues as What was God Thinking at the Moment of Creation, The Genesis of Evil, The Secret of Burial, The Navel of the Earth, and Man at the Catalyst of Harmony in the Universe.

Moshe David Kuhr was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and attended the Talmudical Academy in Baltimore. He received his medical degree from the University of Chicago and trained in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Dr. Kuhr has lived and practiced pediatrics in Monsey, NY, for the last thirty years. He holds a pediatric teaching appointment at Columbia.
Dr. Kuhr counts among his Torah mentors Rabbis Boruch Milikovsky, z"l, Moshe David Tendler, Berel Wein, Avraham Pessin, z"l, Yehoshua David Hartman and scores of chavrutot and students who have helped sharpen his skills, preparing him to make accessible the works of the Maharal of Prague.
