Midrash Rabbah
(10 vol. set)
The definitive English translation of Midrash
Rabbah
Midrash Rabbah, one of the monumental
productions of Rabbinic literature, is the
most striking testimony to the joy and
reverence with which the Jews have cherished
the Bible. It is an essential commentary on
the Torah, containing a treasury of homiletic,
ethical, and moral interpretations of the
Scriptures as expounded by the Rabbis during
Talmudic times.
The Midrash represents, in a unique form, the
essence of Judaism, its ethical standards, and
its insight into the human heart. It spans the
gamut of human knowledge, with passages about
astronomy, medicine, metaphysics, and much
more. |

the Midrash by understanding Biblical history
in the light of their own experiences.

inspiring. This elegant ten-volume set

Midrash Rabbah on the Five Books of the Torah
