Midrash is the Jewish term for hashing out Scripture. In other words, it is a way of finding an answer to a practical or theological question by studying the meaning of words in Torah. Midrash is used to discover halacha or how to walk out the direction of Torah commands. This method of studying the Scriptures has been used by rabbis and students of the Word of God for millennia even though it is most notably used by the Orthodox communities of the past few centuries.

What is Biblical Judaism?
Yeshua taught ‘Biblical Judaism.’ He did not remove or destroy the Torah and Prophets, the Words of His Father. He came to live them out the way they were meant to be lived out: with love for Adonai and love for his neighbor. His ‘yoke,’ the ‘yoke’ of his Father is light and easy (Matthew 28:11-30). John, his disciple, understood his teachings and wrote that the “Torah is not burdensome” (1 John 5:3).
