| How to Read Midrashim - Miriam Zami Edeson | 25 Jun 2025 | 00:58:29 | |
Who was Qorah, and what exactly were the nature of his complaints? In this session, we’ll explore this question through the lens of midrash, paying close attention to how our Sages interpreted—and reimagined—biblical stories.

Miriam Zami Edeson is a PhD candidate at Yeshiva University in Talmud and Ancient Judaism. Miriam teaches widely across academic and communal settings and is a member of the Sefaria Word-by-Word Fellowship. She has previously published at the Lehrhaus, where she was also an editor, and writes on midrash and meaning at her Substack. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
