Interpretation and reception
Netzach Yisrael
Judah Loew ben Bezalel (Maharal of Prague)
Explains waiting for final redemption and Sanhedrin’s condemnation of end-date calculators. Failed calculations can cause their listeners to abandon hope; the final redemption’s concealed timing is contrasted with Egypt’s announced end.
