	JewishEncyclopedia.com - DEBARIM RABBAH: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The comments referring only to the first verses of the lesson characterize Debarim Rabbah as a Midrash of homilies in which even the proems are rather independent homilies than introductions to the comment on the Scriptural section; and the exordiums show, further, that Debarim Rabbah is very similar to the Tanḥuma Midrashim.
		Rabbah that this Midrash was derived in large part from the Yelamdenu; as did
		In view of the form of the homilies and the composition of the whole work, which lend to Debarim Rabbah the appearance of a Tanḥuma Midrash, it is not strange that passages from this Midrash are quoted, in some citations of earlier authors (in the thirteenth century and later), as belonging to Tanḥuma.

		The lulav and etrog are shaken during the recital of Hallel.
		Abudarham speaks of the custom of reading the Torah on the night of Hoshanah Rabbah, out of which has grown the modern custom of meeting socially on that night and reading from Deuteronomy, Psalms, and passages from the Zohar; reciting Kabbalistic prayers; and eating refreshments.
		The latter practice reflects the idea that Hoshanah Rabbah is the end of the high holiday season, when the world is judged for the coming year.

	Rabbah (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		In the utterances of the prophets against Ammon, Rabbah stands for the people, as their most important, or perhaps their only important, city (Jeremiah 49:2-3; Ezekiel 21:20; Ezekiel 25:5; Amos 1:14).
		Rabbah is represented by the modern 'Amman, a ruined site with extensive remains, chiefly from Roman times, some 14 miles Northeast of Heshbon, and about 22 miles East of the Jordan.
		Ancient Rabbah may have stood on the hill now occupied by the citadel, a position easy of defense because of its precipitous sides.

	Hoshana Rabbah
		Hoshana Rabbah is both a somber day of reflection as well as a day of joy and celebration.
		Since Hoshana Rabbah marks the time when the LORD decrees the Book of Life (and Death), a custom is to greet your friends with the phrase, “piska tava”, meaning (in Aramaic) “a good note” (referring to the final inscription and sealing in the book of Life).
		On Hoshana Rabbah, however, instead of one Hoshana, seven Hoshanot are recited and seven hakkafot are made around the sanctuary.

	Bamidbar - Hananel Mack
		As far as we know, the name Numbers Rabbah is not mentioned in written sources until the beginning of the 13th century, nor do we have any information about the work existing in the form in which we know it prior to this period.
		In Numbers Rabbah the concluding subject is the erection of the Tabernacle; hence, when the redactor reached this topic he concluded with praise of Moses for devoting his life to the Tabernacle.
		Almost everyone who cites this midrashic work and refers to Numbers Rabbah by name treats it as a single work, and apparently the date when the two parts were united was not long after the first part was composed; indeed, the unification may have been done by the redactor of Numbers Rabbah part I, himself.

	Beacons on the Talmud's Sea: A Perplexing Purim Feast
		During their feast, while Rabbah and Rav Zeira were indulging in deep mystic secrets - and drinking wine, in a manner parallel to that described by the Shaloh - Rabbah "stood up," i.e., he rose to a higher level of mystic understanding.
		Rabbah's responsibility for Rav Zeira's death is thus merely an error of judgment; he thought that Rav Zeira could, as Rabbah himself did, contain his soul despite becoming aware of these mystical truths.
		Rabbah hoped that in the year that had passed, Rav Zeira had progressed in his Divine service to the point that he would be able to receive the mystic secrets from Rabbah without having his soul expire.

		Rabbah, whose name implies greatness and Reb Ze’arah, whose name Ze’arah in Aramaic means small, were celebrating the Purim meal together.
		But Rabbah elevated him to the level on which Rabbah could tolerate it, but it was intolerable for Reb Ze’arah, and so he passed away.
		Concerning Rabbah, it was not a question of violating the principle of G-d wants souls to stay in bodies because he knew that the next day he would bring him back to life.

	Ahavah Rabbah Prayer Commentary
		Ahavah Rabbah is one of two prayers that occurs in every morning service, including Shabbat, just before the Sh'ma.
		In the evening service, Ahavah Rabbah is replaced with Ahavat Olam, a similar prayer that is more appropriate for saying at the end of the day.
		Ahavah Rabbah, the prayer said just before the Sh'ma in the morning service, is one of those which seems to adjust itself to my life without ever changing a single letter.

		During their feast, while Rabbah and Rav Zeira were indulging in deep mystic secrets - and drinking wine, in a manner parallel to that described by the Sheloh, Rabbah "stood up," i.e., he rose to a higher level of mystic understanding.
		Moreover, since Rabbah had the power to bring Rav Zeira back to life, the experience of kalos hanefesh, that Rav Zeira's soul expired in love for G-d, was not a negative one.
		Rabbah hoped that in the year that had passed, Rav Zeira had progressed in his Divine service to the point that he would be able to receive the mystic secrets from Rabbah without his soul expiring.

		Rabbah holds that (assuming all three fields are of equal value) in this case Rueben can request to have his two fields located next to one another and that Shimon cannot say that he wants his field to be sandwiched between Rueben’s.
		In this case, Rabbah holds that (again assuming both inheritance fields are of equal value) Rueben can request to have his field next to the one he already owns and that Shimon cannot say that he wants the field next to Rueben’s, thereby separating Rueben’s personal and inheritance fields.
		Rabbah really does not make sense here because he says there IS the concept of midas Sodom in the second case.

		But Rabbah said that this hen was appointed for consumption and with an egg laid on Yom Tov that fell after the Shabbat we are dealing and therefore because of preparation.
		And Rabbah follows his own reasoning, because Rabbah said; That which is written "And it will be on the sixth day that they shall prepare which they bring" Here Rabbah is mentioning the Manna in Shemot 16:23(Exodus).
		Rabbah says that Abaye's case is a Rabbinical decree placed on the egg so that people would not come to do an Asur D'Orita on a Yom Tov that falls on a Sunday after a Shabbat.

	Tales of the Neighborhood: CHAPTER ONE
		Leviticus Rabbah is distinguished by its elaborate and unified compositional scheme and by the superb quality of its narrative style.
		Leviticus Rabbah includes no less than four narratives in which the encounter of women neighbors either is the focus of the narrative or plays a central role in it.
		Whereas the narrative of the two baking neighbor women in Leviticus Rabbah itself does not involve a gender conflict (although it emerges in several of its later parallels), such a conflict is explicitly present in the context of the chapter as a whole.

		He answers (citing the Eliyahu Rabbah) that the miracle of Purim came about to a great extent due to parties where alcohol played a central role.
		Subsequently, Rabbah prayed on behalf of Rav Zeira and the latter was revived.
		The following year, Rabbah invited Rav Zeira for the Seudat Purim, and Rav Zeira declined the offer saying, “Miracles do not occur all the time.” A number of observations can be made regarding this passage.

		On Hoshana Rabbah, however, we remove all the Torah scrolls from the ark and make seven processions around the sanctuary.

		The significance of the willow branch on Hoshana Rabbah is not only that without it the other three species are in serious trouble; the truth is that the entire focus of Hoshana Rabbah is exclusively on the willow branch, and our striking it upon the earth.

		The pitdah was the stone of Simeon (Targum Yonathan; BeMidbar Rabbah 2:7).
		The Midrash (BeMidbar Rabbah 2:7) states that the colors of the stones on this row were 'sky-blue, fl, white.' There is evidence (see note, this verse, 'sapphire'), that the first two colors are transposed, and the reading should be 'fl, sky-blue, white,' so that this would agree that the nophekh was fl.
		Josephus renders it as jasper, but his is probably a transposition with the next stone in the Septuagint, which in turn is a transposition with the last stone (see note, this verse, 'beryl').

		Rabbah further said: One who disfigures a coin belonging to another is exempt, the reason being that he did not do anything [to reduce the substance of the coin].
		Rabbah further stated: If one destroyed by fire the bond of a creditor he would be exempt, because he can say to him, 'It was only a mere piece of paper of yours that I have burnt.'
		Rabbah therefore said: Here [in the case before us] the point at issue must be whether [or not] sentence may be pronounced over an ox in its absence.
