Midrash

Midrash is a traditional Jewish method of interpreting biblical texts, aiming to uncover deeper meanings or lessons. It involves examining the Scriptures closely, often using storytelling, parables, or legal interpretations to fill gaps, clarify ambiguities, or explore moral and philosophical questions. Midrash can take many forms, including narrative expansions on biblical stories or discussions about the implications of a particular verse. It serves to connect ancient texts with contemporary issues, enriching Jewish thought and practice through centuries of scholarship and creativity.
