 The Maharal is most well known in popular culture for the legend of the golem of Prague, associated with him in folklore.However, his thought influenced Hasidism, for example being studied in the introspective Przysucha school.During the 20th century, Isaac Hutner (1906–1980) continued to spread the Maharal's works indirectly through his own teachings and publications within the non-Hasidic yeshiva world.
