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.
