Background1

General description

  • All Midreshei Halakhah follow the order of the Torah’s verses as opposed to the topical organization found in other branches of Tannaitic literature (e.g. Mishnah and Tosefta).
  • These midrashim employ various methods of derash (and some peshat interpretation) to derive halakhot from the verses, or to link halakhot to the verses.2
  • The text is often dialectical and complex, with frequent obscure statements and arguments.3
  • Despite an orientation toward halakhic issues,4 the Midreshei Halakhah contain a significant amount of agaddic material as well.
