Jalkut Schimoni zu Genesis

The Yalkut Shimoni is a compilation of rabbinic interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. There has been no research into the criteria used to select them, nor do we know whether the work was intended as a reference work for exegetical issues, for connecting biblical interpretations in the Talmud and Midrash, or for reforming the rabbinic tradition of interpretation. The translation in this volume is a first step toward answering these questions.
