Editing Judah Loew ben Bezalel (section)

==Influence==
===Disciples===
It is unknown how many Talmudic rabbinical scholars Loew taught in Moravia, but the main disciples from the Prague period include Rabbis [[Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller]] and [[David Gans]]. The former promoted his teacher's program of regular [[Mishnah]] study by the masses, and composed his ''Tosefoth Yom Tov'' (a Mishnah commentary incorporated into almost all published editions of the Mishnah over the past few hundred years) with this goal in mind. [[David Gans|David Ganz]] wrote ''Tzemach David'', a work of Jewish and general history, as well as writing on [[astronomy]]; both Loew and Ganz were in contact with [[Tycho Brahe]], the famous astronomer.

===Commemoration===

[[Kerem Maharal]], a moshav in northern Israel, was established by Czech Jewish immigrants and named in Loew's honour.

In April 1997, Czech Republic and Israel jointly issued a set of stamps, one of which featured the tombstone of Loew.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bait-tov.com/store/pic.php?ID=6110s693%2F|title=1997 Prague Jewish Monuments - Czech Joint Issue|access-date=2009-09-30|archive-date=2016-03-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213947/http://www.bait-tov.com/store/pic.php?ID=6110s693%2F|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>[http://english.israelphilately.org.il/series/content/en/000380 Jewish Monuments in Prague Joint Isuue] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721144139/http://english.israelphilately.org.il/series/content/en/000380 |date=2011-07-21 }}, ''israelphilately.org.il''</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.engaging.net/israel98/releases/apr97/prague.htm|title=Israel '98 World Stamp Exhibition|website=www.engaging.net|access-date=2009-09-30|archive-date=2022-01-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123153613/http://www.engaging.net/israel98/releases/apr97/prague.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> In May 2009, the Czech Post issued a stamp commemorating the 400th anniversary of Loew's death.<ref>[http://www.cpost.cz/en/filatelie/znamky-a-celiny/rabbi-judah-loew-id26650/ Rabbi Judah Loew], Česká pošta</ref> In June 2009 the Czech Mint issued a [[commemorative coin]] marking the same milestone.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://rsmint.com/2009czech200krsilverproofcoinjudahloew.aspx|title=2009 Czech 200Kr Silver Proof "Judah Loew"|accessdate=Apr 2, 2023}}{{Dead link|date=April 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The [[Statue of Judah Loew ben Bezalel]] stands in Prague.
