Cuentos y máximas del Midrash

Tales and Maxims from the Midrash opens the door to a universe where ancient wisdom is transmitted in the form of parables, legends, and moral teachings. Samuel Rapaport guides us through midrashic texts—from Genesis Rabbah to the Midrash on the Psalms, including stories of angels and demons, the Messiah, and Alexander the Great—revealing a vibrant mosaic of Jewish thought, spirituality, and narrative. Far from being a mere collection of anecdotes, this book shows how the sages interpreted the Torah, how they answered the great questions of existence, and how, through stories, they transmitted values ​​and reflections that continue to resonate in our time. A fascinating journey through the oral tradition of Judaism, full of ethical and philosophical teachings, that will surprise both the curious reader and the scholar of religions and sacred literature.
