Abstract
Midrash for Renewal and Repair is a collection of short stories that are creative retellings of narratives from the Hebrew Bible centered on women, informed by rabbinic midrash (interpretive traditions), feminist biblical scholarship, and pop culture. The introduction defines "midrash" as well as "modern feminist midrash," an emergent genre of biblical interpretation and creative expression. Seven stories follow, which explore the biblical and midrashic figures Lilith, Rebekah, Serach bat Asher, Yocheved, Miriam, Jephthah's unnamed daughter, and Batsheva.
