R. David Kasher: Midrashic Moves
from Ta Shma Hosted by Hadar Institute
The genre of midrash has a reputation for taking creative license. In midrash, we come across the wildest stories our Rabbis ever told, and it sometimes feels like they can say anything. Yet the midrashic method was guided by precise rules of interpretation as well as general norms of discourse. But who keeps track of the rules and who monitors the discourse? Can a midrashic interpretation ever be deemed beyond the limits? Recorded at the Rabbinic Yeshiva Intensive in March 2024.
