Ryzman Edition Hebrew Midrash Rabbah Complete 17-Volume Set, Compact Size (Hardcover, ArtScroll)

The complete Ryzman Edition Hebrew Midrash Rabbah — seventeen hardcover volumes, compact size. This is the whole project in one purchase: Bereishis through Devarim and the Five Megillos, each with the Midrashic text and a running Hebrew elucidation beneath it.

The Midrash is part of the Oral Torah, and it goes where the Talmud does not — into the spiritual and ethical substance of the verse. What has always made it hard is that its language assumes a reader who already knows where the passage is going. The elucidation supplies exactly that, phrase by phrase, alongside insights from the classic Midrashic commentators and from contemporary scholarship.

The compact size is the practical choice for a full seventeen-volume run: it is a shelf of seforim you can actually fit, and a set that a shul, a kollel or a family can build a lifetime of learning around.
