	Beth midrash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beth Midrash (or Beis Midrash or Beit Midrash, Hebrew בית מדרש) (plural batei or botei midrash) literally means a "House [of] Interpretation" or "House [of] Lecturing" or "House [of] Learning" in Hebrew.
		It may refer to a synagogue, yeshiva, or kollel, and refers specifically to the central "study hall" (and/or also to the "place of worship"), which is a place dedicated for Torah and Talmud study.
		While a beth midrash generally serves a community, it is also the physical abode of a yeshiva (college of higher Jewish study) and kollel (Torah study institute for married men).

	Kolot / Beit Midrash
		The Beit Midrash is a setting where several dialogues take place at once: between Jewish sources and Western culture; between theoretical study and practical application; and between the topic being studied and the personal approach of the student.
		The participants in the Bet Midrash come from a wide range of educational and personal backgrounds: men and women; secular and religious Jews, some of whom have studied and taught at yeshivot, some of whom have been facilitators at new batei midrash; lawyers and businessmen; and people involved in literature and drama, education and philosophy.
		The composition of the Bet Midrash allows each student to work within his or her discipline, but in a way that encourages mutual interaction with the other participants.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - TEMURAH, MIDRASH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The first and second chapters introduce R. Ishmael and R. Akiba as lecturers; and for that reason this midrash was erroneously ascribed to those two tannaim.
		Certain passages in the work indicate that it was not written until the end of the twelfth or the beginning of the thirteenth century.
		According to Jellinek, the author of the Midrash Temurah made use of the works of Ibn Ezra as well as of Galen's dialogue on the soul; this would show that he could not have lived before the latter part of the twelfth century.

	Bregman (Footnotes)
		In light of the much discussed "intertextual" nature of midrash (see for example, Daniel Boyarin, Intertextuality and the Reading of Midrash [Bloomington, 1990]), the process of midrashic visualization may be pictured as a kind of double-move, from the scriptural sub-text to the mental image and from that image to the resultant midrashic text.
		Midrash Sekhel Tov to Gen. 22:4 combines this with the version found in Bereshit Rabbah: "he [Abraham] saw a cloud hovering on the mountain, and a pillar of fire within it".
		Notice that we have here another parade example of midrashic visuaization: the animal blood God sees in Egypt is, in the eyes of the midrash, a visualized projection of the human blood shed during the actual(!) sacrifice of Isaac on Mt. Moriah.

		Not only is the Bet Midrash permitted to ordain women as rabbis; it is obligated to ordain women who are suitable just as it ordains men who are suitable.
		The Bet Midrash is already an established fact and is recognized by various sectors of the population.
		In conclusion, it is permissible for the Bet Midrash to ordain women as rabbis on condition that the women undertake in writing to accept upon themselves all positive time-bound commandments and to refrain from serving in a Bet Din for conversion or to witness divorces and marriages.

	Aspects of Babylonian Jewsih Life - Midrash BEN ISH HAI newsletter page 2
		During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Talmudic studies were pursued at midrashim (or yeshibas), including the well-known Midrash Bet Zilkha, originally built by Hasqel Ruben Mnashshi (1840), and expanded by his son, Mnashshi (Mnashi) (1850s).
		It is of interest that the family was known by the name Mnashshi-Zbeida, after Hasqel’s wife, Zbeida, who had continued her husband’s philanthropic work (Melamed 1995:185) and managed the family business in Baghdad, during his long absence in Calcutta (A. Manasseh, p.c.).

		Because he sat in the bet midrash from his youth until his old age and was expert in Mikrah / Bible, Mishnah, Halachah and Aggadah, as it is written (Bereishit 25:27), "Yaakov was a wholesome man, abiding in tents" [i.e, the tent of Torah study].
		Rather, he was afraid that the covenant that G-d had made with him had been abrogated because he had married two sisters [which the Torah would later prohibit] or because he might have improperly benefitted from Lavan's property.
		The answer may be as follows: When the Midrash informs us that Yaakov was not crying for Yosef, but rather for the covenant which Yaakov feared had been abrogated, it is teaching us a tzaddik's outlook on life.
