Midrash Series • Part 1 CREATION

The beginning of it all! It starts here.
Well, you must be excited! We are about to take an amazing adventure together through the Midrash.

The Midrash is ancient biblical commentary. It is a collection of several different works that expound on classical Rabbinic literature.

You're right....that doesnt sound so amazing, but check it out! It might surprise you!

I'm pulling from several different sources.
We will be dabbling in the Midrash Rabba,
the Midrash Tanchuma, and portions of the
Talmud, known as the Aggadah, which means the telling in Aramaic. It is the non legal narrative section of the Talmud, containing
"parables" and anecdotes to help illustrate certain ideas in Jewish ideology.

As I always say...to really get into the Midrash
you need to believe....

•Its absolutely literal
•Its absolutely allegorical
•Its both
•Its neither

....all at the same time. Try wrapping your head around that!

Resources I pull from,
