4. The Lord killeth and maketh alive" (1Sam. 2) – A Rabbinic Reading of a Biblical Text

   Dr. Yonatan Feintuch | 58 minutes

   This shiur deals with the relationship between midrash and pshat (the simple reading of biblical verses). It addresses the question whether midrashic narratives that do not appear to have a textual basis in the biblical narrative, are rabbinic ideas that are artificially attached to the biblical text, or are actually an alternative, sophisticated reading of various implicit elements that exist in the text itself . The large part of the shiur will address these questions specifically through the lens of a brief midrashic narrative, which describes the biblical character of Channa (Shmuel's mother) as praying on behalf of the sect of Korach, and elevating them from the netherworld where they sank after their rebellion against Moshe.
