Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah

More about the book

Unlock the spiritual and ethical treasures of Jewish thought and share the brilliance of Midrashic commentators, both classic and contemporary. Discover the depth and beauty of the Midrash with a monumental new edition. Like the Talmud, the Midrash is part of the Oral Law, delving into the spiritual essence of the revealed Torah and adding essential details to its narratives while preserving an ethical tradition passed down through generations. Midrash Rabbah is the most widely studied of all Midrashic works, and this new 16-volume project covers the entire Midrash Rabbah, including the Chumash and the Five Megillahs. The inaugural volume addresses Sefer Bereishis/Genesis, from Parashas Lech Lecha to Parashas Toldos. This edition features newly typeset Hebrew text alongside English translation and commentary, incorporating classic Hebrew commentaries such as Rashi, Matnos Kehunah, Eitz Yosef, and Maharzu, as well as the rare Eshed HaNechalim. It offers ArtScroll/Mesorah's acclaimed phrase-by-phrase translation for optimal understanding, along with explanatory footnotes to clarify difficult passages. A special "Insights" section amplifies the text, bringing contemporary relevance to timeless Midrashic teachings. The Midrash has served as a source of Jewish ethical and spiritual wisdom for millennia, inviting readers to mine its rich treasures.
