In Be’er HaGolah, the Maharal of Prague (Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel c.1512 - 1609), addresses the critique of his contemporaries on various aspects of Aggadic literature. Through his responses, the Maharal sets out his overall methodology and approach to Aggadah. Be’er HaGolah can be viewed as an introduction to all of the Maharal’s works.
