The earliest text of Midrash attempt to justify Rabbinic practice and law (halakhah) by connecting it to the text of the Torah. In this class we will explore a small sampling of these texts with the aim of gaining familiarity with their methods of interpretation. Texts will be from the Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishamel and the Makhilta of Rabbi Simon bar Yochai. Texts will be in English translation.
