The Medieval Hebrew Bereshith Rabba

Book Overview

The Medieval Hebrew Bereshith Rabba is a book edited and translated by Charles F. Horne. It is a collection of midrashim, or Jewish biblical commentaries, on the book of Genesis. The midrashim were compiled in the medieval period and reflect the interpretations and teachings of Jewish scholars during that time. The book includes commentary on the creation story, the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, and the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Bereshith Rabba is an important text in Jewish scholarship and provides insight into the religious and cultural beliefs of medieval Jewish communities.
