The ancient rabbis believed that the Torah was divinely revealed and therefore contained eternal truths and multitudinous hidden meanings. Not a single word was considered haphazard or inconsequential. This understanding of how Scripture mystically relates to all of life is the fertile ground from which the Midrash emerged. 

Here Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso explores how Midrash originated and how it is still practiced today, and offers new translations and interpretations of twenty essential, classic midrashic texts. You will never read the Bible the same way again!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book can change for the better the way we all look at Scripture.” —Joan Chittester, OSB

“For a fresh and vibrant experience of reading Scripture, open Sandy Eisenberg Sasso‘s highly readable Midrash: Reading the Bible with question marks. In this book Rabbi Sasso provides a straightforward discussion of the Jewish tradition of midrash—interpretation of Scripture—and how this practice can nourish one’s spiritual life. A lovely, rich, and inspiring read, Midrash: Reading the Bible with question marks would benefit Christian and Jewish readers, as well as secular individuals interested in the many ways to understand the Bible.” —Light to Read By

5.0 out of 5 stars Thinking deeper - Allowed to ask questions

First is that I am not Jewish, but I'm in love with the thought processes that she is sharing. I'd heard of Midrash but didn't understand what it was or why and wanted a better understanding. This book seemed simple enough for a Christian reader to understand. I am so thrilled with the whole though processes and I love her personal comments. All I can say is thank you to Sandy Eisenberg Sasso for such a wonderful book that explains so much, it makes me want to dig deeper.

I have never thought of the commentaries on the Torah in the same way before. She points out that they are continuing conversations over centuries. As we read and question our interpretation and insight change. I have enjoyed this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW IMPORTANT IS MIDRASH?
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014
Verified Purchase
Many years in my studies I've read references to writings in what is called the 'Midrash'. Often the 'Midrash is quoted with a thought different from what I have ever head. This book gives the answers as to the process and details those wisdom seekers used when they told a story from more then one perspective. I found this book very insightful and enjoyable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2017

It was more a chatter about Midrash than anything else - very little on the subject, more like a "guest speaker's" talk over a lunchtime than anything scriptural.

I would recommend people purchase the Midrash itself, rather than books about it.
