Overview

For centuries Jews have pored over the weekly parasha with the classic Rashi commentary, aided by supercommentaries that elucidated Rashi's meaning. The Gur Arye was the Maharal of Prague's contribution to our understanding of Rashi; in it the Maharal combined philosophical and kabbalistic insights with straightforward explanations of Rashi's words. This three-volume series presents Dr. Moshe Kuhr's translation of the Gur Arye, which for the first time offers the English-speaking audience a taste of the Maharal's brilliance, along with insightful explanations that further the reader's understanding of the text.
