The Midrash Says
(5 VOLS) By: Rabbi Moshe Weissman
The Midrash or
Aggadic section of the Oral Tradition provides
the background, the motivations, and the
stories behind the biblical text which may
seem sometimes dry and incomprehensible to an
unlearned reader. It is the allegories and
illustrations, of the Midrash which make the
Jewish biblical tradition so much more full
and alive.
The Midrash Says is both an anthology and a
very readable translation. It contains
Midrashic material from Midrash Raba, Tanhuma,
Yalkut Shimoni, and many smaller Midrashim,
much of which never appeared in English.
