The sixth volume in the beloved Little Midrash Says series focuses on the Book of Yehoshua. In this volume, readers will be introduced to Yehoshua, Kalev, and the five daughters of Tzelafchad, along with the courageous Rachav, who risks her life to protect the Jewish spies. The narrative also covers the thrilling details of the conquest and distribution of Eretz Canaan.

Through the Midrashic and Aggadic teachings of the Oral Tradition, this volume illuminates the motivations and deeper meanings behind the biblical text, which may otherwise seem dry or difficult to grasp. The allegories and stories from the Midrash infuse the Jewish biblical tradition with depth and vibrancy, making it come alive for readers.

The Little Midrash Says serves as both an anthology and a highly readable translation, drawing from sources such as Midrash Raba, Tanhuma, Yalkut Shimoni, and lesser-known Midrashim, much of which has never before been available in English. Rabbi Moshe Weissman’s mastery of drush and his skillful narrative style make complex ideas both easy to understand and enjoyable to read.
