About
Midrash is literature that attempts to fill in the gaps in the stories of the Torah. Why, for example, did the ark have to be built of gopher wood? How did God communicate with Moses? What really happened there at the summit of Mt. Nebo?
And so, In Midrash 288, Beverli Jinn has followed this midrashic tradition. The book, published in 2008, the year 5768 of the Jewish calendar, represents 288 generations since the Creation. She has retold the ancient stories so that modern readers can experience them with joyful new insight. It has been her intent to emphasize the truth of the stories even as she de-emphasizes their historicty.
