I found a site which contains much Midrash online
« on: January 16, 2010, 11:55:18 PM »
Actually there are two sites I have been looking at.

http://www.huc.edu/midrash/
^Hebrew Union College's Midrash collection.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/tmm/index.htm
^A collection of Midrash translated in 1907 by a "reverend"[he is a priest of some sort?].

I love to study any bit of Torah, but Midrash stories are my favorite. [the behind the scenes stuff!]

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities

Well you may like these sites too:

http://www.torah.org

http://www.aish.com

http://www.chabad.org

http://www.4torah.com

http://www.torahanytime.com

http://www.ou.org

I use all of these sources for reference...



Thanks Brosef!  I use the Aish site, and I use a Chabad site here in LA, they have daily studies with Rashi, Rambam, etc...  good stuff always!  I will just tuck these guys into my bookmarks!

I will add these to my, "Online Jewish Library"!  I have to think that some of the old Yeshiva students from 100 years ago, or more, would REALLY get a kick out of th internet....  Imagine Rambam and Rashi arguing on AIM!! 

Rambam, "You need to follow all the mitzvah, period, no more discussion"
vs.
Rashi, "No, you follow all the sex law mitzvoth 1st, and then all of the other mitzvah fall in line naturally, for sexual restraint is the most difficult of all mitzvah!"
