A monumental and magnificent new Torah project: The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah
Like the Talmud, the Midrash is part of the Oral Law. The Midrash delves into the spiritual essence of the revealed Torah. It adds many missing details of the Torah's narrative, and provides the ethical tradition that was passed down orally from generation to generation. Midrash Rabbah is the best known and most widely studied of all the Midrashic works. The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah is a 16-volume project covering all of Midrash Rabbah, on the entire Chumash and the Five Megillahs. This volume covers Sefer Bereishis/Genesis, from Parashas Bereishis through Parashas Noach. Also includes introduction to Midrash Rabbah.
The Kleinman Edition Midrash Rabbah features:
The Hebrew text, newly typeset, on pages facing the English translation and commentary
Many classic Hebrew commentaries, including Rashi, Matnos Kehunah, Eitz Yosef, and
Maharzu, plus the out-of-print classic Eshed HaNechalim -- All newly typeset on the Hebrew page
ArtScroll/Mesorah's acclaimed phrase-by-phrase translation and elucidation of the Midrash text, created by an international team of Torah scholars for optimum understanding of the Midrash
Explanatory footnotes to help clarify difficult passages and concepts
A special "Insights" section that amplifies or complements our elucidated text and notes and at times brings a contemporary focus to the timeless words of the Midrash
