Midrash is a traditional Jewish method of interpreting sacred texts, particularly the Torah. It seeks to explore deeper meanings, fill in narrative gaps, and provide moral lessons through stories and commentary. Midrashic literature often expands on biblical narratives, offering insights into characters and events. There are two main types of Midrash: Midrash Halakhah, which focuses on legal aspects, and Midrash Aggadah, which emphasizes stories and ethical teachings. This interpretive approach has been influential in shaping Jewish thought and practice, allowing for a dynamic engagement with scripture across generations.
