Book Description
The authors explore the fascinating body of Jewish literature called Midrash: creative interpretations of the Bible that are designed to reveal hidden or deeper meaning in Scripture. Each of the over 50 midrashim in this collection sit next to their corresponding biblical text and are accompanied by commentary on the times and insights of the Rabbis who wote each midrash. In their engaging, conversational style and their unique presentation of material on the page, Katz and Schwartz make Midrash accessible to today's reader. In so doing, the teachings of the Rabbis become strikingly relevant to our times.
From the Publisher
Rabbis Katz and Schwartz are also the coauthors of the popular JPS title, Swimming in the Sea of Talmud.
