| | Midrash halakha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Midrashic halakot found also scattered through the two Talmuds; for many halakic baraitot (traditions in oral law) which occur in the Talmuds are really midrashic, recognizable by the fact that they mention the Scriptural bases for the respective halakot, often citing the text at the very beginning. | | | Midrash halakha was the ancient rabbinic Jewish method of verifying the traditionally received laws by identifying their sources in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and by interpreting these passages as proofs of the law's authenticity. | | | In the Jerusalem Talmud the midrashic baraitot frequently begin with "Ketib" (= "It is written"), followed by the Scriptural passage. |

| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - MIDRASH HAGGADAH: |
| | Canticles was made the subject of midrashic interpretation at a very early date; Akiba declared it to be "most holy," taking it as an allegorical glorification of the relation between God and Israel. | | | The haggadic Midrash, which confined itself originally to the exposition of Scripture text, was developed in its period of florescence into finished discourses. | | | The word "haggadah" (Aramaic, "agada") means primarily the recitation or teaching of Scripture; in a narrower sense it denotes the exegetic amplification of a Biblical passage and the development of a new thought based thereupon. |

| | A Critique of the Uses and Abuses of Midrash in Contemporary Christianity, Moriel Ministries |
| | The "midrashic field of play" is defined by two "axioms" - it is an "activity performed on the Bible, which is regarded as a fixed, canonical text", and "scripture is divine speech", with its origins in the "mind of God", therefore, the "human element in scripture is minimal" (Alexander 1993:306). | | | Both groups consider midrash as an important means of communicating Scripture to everyday life, but they differ in their view of scriptural authority in interpretation. | | | Ignorant of the Midrash tradition and antagonistic of the Jews, the early Christians began to interpret the Christian Scriptures literally (Robinson 1998). |

| | Midrash - The Key to Interpretation |
| | Midrash is actually a way to change the frame (context) of the stories in the Bible. | | | It does not have the authority granted to the Torah texts, of course, but it is encouraged as a way to explore the rich meanings of the Torah. | | | In Jewish tradition, the sacred texts of the Torah (the Hebrew Bible) have been kept adaptable to changing social circumstances through a form of story called midrash - stories invented to fill gaps or to explain apparent inconsistencies in the Torah. |

| | Jacob Neusner explains that the word "Midrash" is based on a Hebrew word meaning "interpretation" or "exegesis". | | | Thus one can say that "The Midrash on the verse Genesis 1:1 says that…" [and some Midrashic interpretation of the verse would go here]. | | | Thus one can say that "Genesis Rabbah" is a book that is a compilation of Midrash readings on the book of Genesis. |

| | What is a Midrash? |
| | If a Midrashic teaching is not the pshat of the verse (which can usually be seen when reading the verses in context) than that is not the pshat of the verse. | | | A non-halachic Midrash will at times deal with the verse according to its literal meaning but usually it sees a verse as a symbolic parable. | | | A Midrash doesn't usually explain a whole passage, but various verses in a passage (and sometimes only one verse). |

| | Fraade: Looking for Legal Midrash |
| | This stands in sharp contrast not simply to later rabbinic midrash halakhah, but to the Qumran pesharim, which systematically employ explicit scriptural commentary to prophetic texts to trace the sacred history of the community as the privileged fulfillment of prophetic predictions. | | | However, for all the midrash and halakhah found within the scrolls, textually they evidence very little midrash halakhah: the explicit citation and interpretation of Scripture as a source of or justification for law. | | | Goldberg ("The Early and the Late Midrash") distinguishes the manner of legal presentation of the Temple Scroll, devoid of explicit scriptural "proof," from that of later (post-70 CE) midrash halakhah. |
