The People Behind This Book
Dayan Yitzhak BerdugoTranslator and annotator
How should we understand the Midrashim of our Sages?
Rabbenu Abraham, the son of RaMBaM, wrote a guide to understanding the words of our Sages. This new English translation appears alongside an elegantly typeset Hebrew translation, annotated with insights and sources from ḥakhamim across the generations.
Written by a key figure of the worldly tradition, it will deepen your study of Talmud and your understanding of Ḥazal.
What Will I Gain from This Book?
Confidence in reading midrash and aggada: when the Sages speak literally, when in parable, and how to tell the difference.
