Course Description

For many, both Midrash and Aggada are a black box when they try to figure out what their ultimate purpose is. Are Midrashim arbitrary expansions of Biblical narrative What are these aggadot supposed to teach us Why is a story more viscerally compelling than a systematic moral code There is method to Midrash and Aggada, and this course will seek to uncover it.
