Abstract:
The term midrash has a specific meaning and a broader one. Specifically, midrash refers to the post Talmudic body of writings (post-500 C.E.) such as Midrash Rabbah and Pirke de-Rabi Eliezer. In broader terms, midrash has come to mean a Jewish story that explains, clarifies, or elaborates on an event or passage in the Torah. There are many stories in midrasnhic sources that are appropriate and valuable to retell for children. A retelling of the story "Solomon and the Demon King," for instance, can captivate a fifth grader today who plays computer games and rides a skateboard, just as much as it did a shtetl boy who walked barefoot to beder and learned to chant Talmudic passages at age four. Rabbinic stories are not old and outdated, but alive and timeless. Within these stories, children can find heroic individuals just as brave and daring as the current ones who sport masks and capes and fancy weaponry-people like Rabbi Johanan ben Zaikai and Rabbi Akiva. But these rabbinic heroes provide something many of the television heroes do not-moral and ethical values as a basis for action.

Abstract:
Samaritans, as a group within the ranges of ancient ‘Judaisms’, are often mentioned in Talmud and Midrash. As comparable social–religious entities, they are regarded ambivalently by the rabbis. First, they were viewed as Jews, but from the end of the Tannaitic times, and especially after the Bar Kokhba revolt, they were perceived as non-Jews, not reliable about different fields of Halakhic concern. Rabbinic writings reflect on this change in attitude and describe a long ongoing conflict and a growing anti-Samaritan attitude. This article analyzes several dialogues between rabbis and Samaritans transmitted in the Midrash on the book of Genesis, Bereshit Rabbah. In four larger sections, the famous Rabbi Me’ir is depicted as the counterpart of certain Samaritans. The analyses of these discussions try to show how rabbinic texts avoid any direct exegetical dispute over particular verses of the Torah, but point to other hermeneutical levels of discourse and the rejection of Samaritan claims. These texts thus reflect a remarkable understanding of some Samaritan convictions, and they demonstrate how rabbis denounced Samaritanism and refuted their counterparts. The Rabbi Me’ir dialogues thus are an impressive literary witness to the final stages of the parting of ways of these diverging religious streams.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article discusses chapters 15 and 16 of the ancient midrash (allegorical commentary) Leviticus Rabba (IV-V AD) and its view of leprosy. The phenomenon of Biblical leprosy is here not investigated from a paleopathological point of view. The focus lies on its physiological, actiological, pathological and therapeutic aspects as represented in Leviticus Rabba. It is argued that the medical views of Leviticus Rabba show a certain resemblance to some of the view of the Hippocratic School, notably with respect to humoral theory, the belief in the correspondence between the macrocosm and the individual microcosm, and the notion of paideia as a way of healing. Finally, it is shown that the ancient myth of the two floods (of water and of fire) is connected to the understanding of leprosy in Leviticus Rabba.

Abstract:
La thèse constitue l’exploration thématique de six sources, cinq sources textuelles et une source orale. Les sources textuelles sont parmi les plus importantes de la tradition juive: la Bible, le Talmud de Babylone, le Midrach Rabba, le commentaire de Rachi sur la Bible, et le Zohar. Quant à la source orale, elle correspond à une étude des représentations actuelles de Rachel et Léa chez des juifs en France et en Israël au travers des entretiens. Ce travail tente d'abord de saisir la place occupée par les deux matriarches dans les textes fondateurs de la tradition juive et le cheminement du récit biblique à travers le temps et les textes, puis de remarquer les récurrences dans des motifs et thèmes concernant Rachel et Léa. On s'y demande si ces thèmes subissent de modifications dans les diverses sources, comment cela se produit et ce que cela révèle. On tente ensuite d vérifier à travers les entretiens quelles images sont associées à Rachel et Léa de nos jours, comment elles sont perçues, quelle place elles occupent ? Font-elles partie d'un passé lointain ou sont-elles des personnages présents dans la vie des personnes d'aujourd'hui? Et finalement, grâce aux deux pôles, sources écrites e entretiens oraux, on étudie également te rapport entre leur place dans la société juive actuelle et leur place et représentations dans les sources écrites de la tradition juive
The thesis consists of a thematic exploration of six sources -five textual and one oral. The textual sources are among the most influential in the Jewish tradition: the Bible, the Babylonian Talmud, Midrash Rabba, Rashi’s commentary on the Bible, and the Zohar. As for the Oral source, it consists of interviews with French and Israeli Jews, examining representations of Rachel and Lea's figures. This work addresses initially roles of the two matriarchs in the fundamental texts of the Jewish tradition it next presents study of the development of the biblical story through time and texts. After analysing recurrences of different themes of Rachel and Leah in the various sources, it then examines differences and modifications of these themes, in. Order to understand the reason and meaning of their modifications. It further inquire through interviews about the kinds of images associated with the figures of Rachel and Leah today, how they are perceived, the places they occupy in the interviewee's life, and whether they are considered part of a distant past or relevant today. Finally, it compare between the roles of the two matriarchs in contemporary Jewish society and their role in the textual sources of the Jewish tradition

Full text
Abstract:
The Or ha-Sekhel of Abraham ben Asher (Venice, 1567) is of great importance in the history of the study of midrash because it is the first book in which Genesis Rabba was accompanied by commentaries, one spuriously attributed to Rashi and the other written by Abraham ben Asher himself. The composition of a commentary on a midrash was something of a novelty in the mid-16th-century; immediate precedents are hard to identify. Yet, several such commentaries and a large number of prints of Midrash Rabba were published at this time, suggesting that the status of this ‘anthology of midrashim’ was undergoing a period of transition. The need for a correct text and the explanation of obscure vocabulary was foremost in the minds of interpreters such as Issachar Berman of Poland. However, the increasing importance of midrash in the sermons of the Iberian immigrants to the Ottoman Empire also inspired the composition of more discursive commentaries. The homiletic nature of Abraham ben Asher’s expositions suggests that they should be seen in this context. His incorporation of an earlier commentary falsely attributed to Rashi into the Or ha-Sekhel might be understood as an effort to ground his innovative presentation of Genesis Rabba as a text requiring thorough study and the guidance of learned commentators in the work of Rashi himself. Understanding the way Abraham ben Asher has compiled these texts in the Or ha-Sekhel sheds new light on the pervasive interest in midrash in the 16th-century and the outpouring of commentaries on Midrash Rabba at this time.

Abstract:
Midrash is a genre of rabbinic Bible exegesis, composed by various authors and compiled in anthologies during the first seven centuries of the Common Era. This thesis explores the reading of Midrash and its possible influence on early artistic activity. Examples of early Jewish and Christian biblical representations that display some degree of midrashic impact, are presented in order to establish the existence of a relationship between Midrash and art. Finally, by a systematic reading of the corpus of midrashic literature found in Midrash Rabbah, Midrashim that suggest graphic representation, but which have not yet to been found among early art forms, are categorized and analyzed.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the relationship between Targum Song of Songs and Song of Songs Rabbah, and challenges the view that the Targum is dependent on the Midrash. In chapter one I set out the problem to be investigated and consider some of the reasons why scholars in the past have assumed that the Targum drew on the Midrash. Having rejected these reasons as inadequate and established the need for a fresh review of the evidence, I describe the approach I will adopt in the present thesis. In chapters two and three I introduce the two key texts individually, discussing such background information as their manuscripts, provenance, date, genre, coherence and theology. In chapter four I analyse textual parallelism and its implications, reviewing first some seminal studies of the subject, and then introducing and defending a distinction between one-to-one parallelism and multiple parallelism. In chapters five and six I examine in depth a number of indicative cases of both one-to-one and multiple parallelism between Targum Song and Song Rabbah, demonstrating that direct literary dependency between the one work and the other simply cannot be proved. In chapter seven I set this conclusion in the context of a wider comparison between Targum Song and Song Rabbah, arguing that the hypothesis of literary dependency rests on a model of text-creation and text-transmission that is inappropriate to Rabbinic literature in late antiquity. In a series of appendices, printed for convenience as a separate volume, I provide the texts discussed in the case studies in chapters five and six.

Kinbar, Carl Allen. "The authorities of the sages : how the Mishnah and Tosefta differ." Thesis, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10500/8152.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mishnah and Tosefta are two related works of legal discourse produced by Jewish sages in Late Roman Palestine. In these works, sages also appear as primary shapers of Jewish law. They are portrayed not only as individuals but also as “the SAGES,” a literary construct that is fleshed out in the context of numerous face-to-face legal disputes with individual sages. Although the historical accuracy of this portrait cannot be verified, it reveals the perceptions or wishes of the Mishnah’s and Tosefta’s redactors about the functioning of authority in the circles. An initial analysis of fourteen parallel Mishnah/Tosefta passages reveals that the authority of the Mishnah’s SAGES is unquestioned while the Tosefta’s SAGES are willing at times to engage in rational argumentation. In one passage, the Tosefta’s SAGES are shown to have ruled hastily and incorrectly on certain legal issues. A broader survey reveals that the Mishnah also contains a modest number of disputes in which the apparently sui generis authority of the SAGES is compromised by their participation in rational argumentation or by literary devices that reveal an occasional weakness of judgment. Since the SAGES are occasionally in error, they are not portrayed in entirely ideal terms. The Tosefta’s literary construct of the SAGES differs in one important respect from the Mishnah’s. In twenty-one passages, the Tosefta describes a later sage reviewing early disputes. Ten of these reviews involve the SAGES. In each of these, the later sage subjects the dispute to further analysis that accords the SAGES’ opinion no more a priori weight than the opinion of individual sages. They result in a narrowing of the scope of the SAGES’ opinion and a broadening of the scope of an individual sage’s opinion. By applying rational criteria, these reviews have the effect of undermining the SAGES authority. However, the full body of twenty-one Toseftan reviews is apparently motivated by an increased emphasis on rational analysis rather than an agenda to undermine that authority. This approach prefigures the later, more comprehensive use of rational analysis to evaluate the whole of tradition that is found in the Babylonian Talmud.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the Midrash Rabbah. When Midrash Rabbah was first printed in the sixteenth century, ten midrashim of diverse chronological and geographical provenance were gathered together for the first time. Although these midrashim had circulated individually and in various combinations long before, there are no extant manuscripts of ‘Midrash Rabbah’ as a tenfold ‘anthology of midrashim’ on the Pentateuch and the Five Megillot. Rather, this composite volume was the product of two intense waves of publication of books of Midrash and aggadah that took place in the sixteenth century. These found focus first in Constantinople and then in Venice. The midrashim of Midrash Rabbah were published in both these cities, and were later reprinted in Kraków and Salonica.

Abstract:
This chapter studies Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague and his attitude to the aggadah. The literary works of Rabbi Judah Loew, known as Maharal of Prague, include books which are defined as ‘expositions of the aggadot’, where the author dealt with aggadot in the order of their appearance in the Talmud; and also works which were devoted to specific topics. An examination of both types, however, reveals that the approach to the aggadot and the method employed are essentially identical in both classes of works, the order of the source material alone being different in each instance. In the thematic works, the sources are presented in conformity with specific topics, as the subject requires; while in the books of ḥidushim (novel interpretations), Rabbi Loew takes up the aggadot in order of their appearance in the Talmud. Even though the aggadot he deals with vary considerably in their nature, there can be no doubt that he devotes his attention to those which, as a whole or in their individual details, lend support to his principal concepts. The chapter then looks at his works Ḥidushei agadot and Be'er hagolah, the latter having as its purpose the defence of the Torah, in the sense of the midrashim and the halakhic and aggadic dicta of the rabbis of the Talmud.
