The Ḥabura
How to Read Midrashim - Miriam Zami Edeson

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. We’ll uncover layers of meaning in the text, gaining insight into the cultural values, theological questions, and literary creativity that shaped ancient rabbinic thought.


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.

  • What do these ancient laws teach us about holiness, structure, and divine presence?
  • How do Hazal and modern scholars understand their meaning?
