Description
The ancient rabbis believed that every word in the Torah held hidden meanings and significance. This understanding is at the heart of Midrash, a rich tradition of biblical interpretation that continues to shape Jewish thought today.
Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso explores the origins and practice of Midrash, offering new translations and insights into twenty essential midrashic texts. Her approach reveals the Bible in a fresh light, inviting readers to explore its depths and discover new connections between scripture and everyday life.
