Rabbi Yehudah Lowe of Prague, better known as Maharal was one of the greatest rabbis, scholars, philosophers, Kabbalists and statesmen in Jewish history. He served as the rabbi of Prague in the 16th Century but his influence spread far and wide and is still felt today. 

Perhaps, the Maharal is best known for the controversial legend about his creation of a Golem, a humanoid made from clay that protected the Jews of Prague. 

A fascinating discussion about the life and ideas of one of Judaism's most important personalities and whether he actually made a Golem.
