A monumental and magnificent new Torah project:
The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah
Like the Talmud, the Midrash is part of the Oral Law. The Midrash
delves into the spiritual essence of the revealed Torah. It adds many
missing details of the Torah's narrative, and provides the ethical
tradition that was passed down orally from generation to generation.
Midrash Rabbah is the best known and most widely studied of all the
Midrashic works.
The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah is a 16-volume project covering all
of Midrash Rabbah, on the entire Chumash and the Five Megillahs.
The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah features:
- The Hebrew text, newly typeset, on pages facing the English translation and commentary
- Many classic Hebrew commentaries, including Rashi, Matnos
Kehunah, Eitz Yosef, and Maharzu, plus the out-of-print classic Eshed
HaNechalim -- All newly typeset on the Hebrew page
- ArtScroll/Mesorah's acclaimed phrase-by-phrase translation and
elucidation of the Midrash text, created by an international team of
Torah scholars for optimum understanding of the Midrash
- Explanatory footnotes to help clarify difficult passages and concepts
- A special "Insights" section that amplifies or complements our
elucidated text and notes and at times brings a contemporary focus to
the timeless words of the Midrash
"Insights": Midrashic teachings enriching our contemporary understanding
The Midrash has been the source of Jewish ethical and spiritual
teachings for millennia, and has been mined for its treasures
particularly by the masters of Mussar and Chassidic thought. In the
unique "Insights" feature, we see the Midrash through the eyes of
classic early authorities as well as more contemporary giants of Torah
thought such as Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, the Sefas Emes, and Rabbi
Eliyahu Dessler, and many others.
