TheMaharal of Prague was an important 16th-century Talmudic scholar, Jewish mystic, and philosopher who served as a leading rabbi in the cities of Mikulov in Moravia and Prague in Bohemia. Ramon Widmonte learned at Yeshivat Har Etzion and holds a degree in mathematics and computer science. He serves as a rabbi and educator in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"One of the major novel approaches that Rabbi Widmonte has taken is
to create a method of synthesizing the Maharal's thought and
summarizing them, utilizing summaries and graphics devices" Rabbi
Avraham Tanzer
"Maharal's thought to the English reading public is a great service
that will provide the intelligent and interested reader a window
into the thought of this great thinker." Rabbi Mosheh
Lichtenstein
"Sets out very clearly the flow of the Maharal's ideas, as well as
how they connect to the Maharal's broader philosophy and ideas. The
unique combination of text and diagrams . . . illuminates Tiferet
Yisrael in a comprehensive and excellent manner." Rabbi Warren
Goldstein
"What is unique in your work is that you have succeeded in
clarifying the words of the Maharal in a manner that benefits
everyone." Rabbi Yehoshua Hartman
"This is a clear and lucid Hebrew edition with English translation
of the Maharal of Prague's Tiferet Yisrael (the Splendor of Israel)
intended for the English reading public... In addition to providing
a much-needed translation Widmonte's unique approach to presenting
this text enables the English reader to better appreciate the
Maharal's depth of thought and the important place his work
occupies within the Rabbinic corpus. Also included is a glossary, a
general index, name index, and an index of sources. Recommended."
