	Rabbi Judah Loew, The Maharal of Prague (1525-1609) - OU's Department of Jewish Education - The OU Pardes Torah Project
		Rabbi Kook stated that the "Maharal was the father of the approach of the Gaon of Vilna on the one hand, and of the father of Chasidut, on the other hand." He has been described as a Kabbalist who wrote in philosophic garb.
		The Maharal was one of the staunch defenders of the tradition and of the undisputed wisdom of Chazal and wrote a critique of Azriah de'Rossi's Me'or Einayim.
		The Maharal was esteemed by Jew and non-Jew alike and was summoned for an interview with Emperor Rudolph II, though the subject of the interview is still the subject of speculation.

	Maharal on Avot Perek Home Page
		Maharal suggests that the Mishnah’s claim that without fear one cannot have wisdom means that fear of God is the mekayyem, the supportive element of one’s wisdom.
		Maharal interprets these two terms, which clearly refer to forms of knowledge, but are differently interpreted by various commentators, as referring respectively to knowledge of an object’s essence and to the ability to extrapolate creatively.
		Maharal at first questions the analogy, since a tree with too many branches cannot survive (the weight of the branches will make the tree prone to breakage, uprooting, and so on), whereas we do not generally think of there being such a thing as too much wisdom.

		There are a number of themes that recur in the Maharal's work, and over the coming months things that may not be clear the first time around will become clearer, if you stick with it.
		The beauty of the Maharal's approach is his precise textual analysis of the words of the Rabbis, leading him to a deep understanding of the hidden and eternal truths embedded in their words, reaching the hidden dimensions of the Torah.
		One very important assumption that the Maharal posits in all teachings of the Rabbis, and which is even more fundamental when studying Pirkei Avoth.
