In this course, we will explore the creative textual form known as midrash. Using the book Dirshuni: Contemporary Women’s Midrash as a doorway, we will move through the early stories of the Torah, studying new midrashim and uncovering radical new meanings behind well-known stories. First, we will open up the questions: what is midrash and why is it so central to a living Judaism? We will explore the ways in which the inter-textual nature of midrash opens up rich and imaginative new layers within the Biblical sources and the ways in which the form provides us with a toolbox to creatively and personally engage with ancient texts. We will study ancient and new midrashim and try our hand at creating one of our own. Open to all.
