Midrashic Betrayal: the Detrimental Effects of the Failure to Distinguish Between Pshat and Drash

from Machshavah Lab · host Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This morning's Sunday shiur (4/18/21 at YBT) was inspired by a Richard Feynman anecdote in which he recounts crisis which caused him to abandon Judaism as a kid. I believe that many Jewish educators are setting their students up for a similar crisis - a crisis I refer to as "Midrashic Betrayal." In this shiur I provide an overview of my understanding of the distinction between pshat and drash, and I present my six guidelines for learning midrash aggadah, along with ample evidence from Gaonim, Rishonim, and Achronim. ----------מקורות:אבן עזרא - הקדמה לעשרת הדיברותרלב"ג - הקדמה לשיר השיריםרשב"א - חידושי אגדה ברכות דף לב עמוד ברמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:מגאבן עזרא - הקדמה למגילת איכהשלטי הגבורים - עבודה זרה דף ו בדפי הרי"ףמהר"י קרא - א' שמואל א:יזר' שמואל הנגיד - מבוא התלמודRav S.R.
