Abstract:
Midrash is woven through Jewish ritual and practice in diverse ways. Many passages within midrashic literature discuss specific practices as if defining their shape or meaning, or justifying their observance by rooting them in the Hebrew Bible. There are also Jewish rituals that incorporate midrashic texts and themes as part of their observance. Finally, it can be argued that midrash is itself a Jewish practice. Each of these avenues is treated in turn, drawing in perspectives from ritual theory that illuminate their significance.
