ABOUT THE MEDRASH ETS HAIM

Medrash Ets Haim is a center of Jewish learning, headed by Mordechai de Haim de Molinar. The Medrash Ets Haim aims to be an online Jewish Studies Resource for those interested in the rational and balanced approach to Torah Study as taught in the great Sephardic yeshibot (yeshivot) of Western Europe.

Mordechai de Molinar studied in yeshibah after his first degree (Biology) from 1987, until 1991, after which he studied for an M.A. in Jewish Studies (Halacha, Homiletics, and Aramaic Grammar), followed by further yeshibah and further post-graduate Jewish studies until 1994. Mordechai speaks French and Latin, and is currently learning Ancient Greek. He also speaks Hebrew and reads Aramaic.

BEGINNERS' PROGRAMME

There will be a focus on the beginner learning Hebrew and Aramaic grammar and language; obtaining extensive exposure to a wide range of core texts, including an overview of the entire text of the Mishnah, Tanach and Targumim (Aramaic translations), before beginning the study of Guemara. The initial emphasis will be on basic textual competence.

Guemara (Talmud)and other texts will be approached in a direct manner, unencumbered by pilpul. There will also be a strand of halacha study.

PATREON

The Medrash Ets Haim will (as of March 2018 / Adar 5778) be publishing its audio materials on the Medrash Est Haim Patreon page.

Occasional publication of materials to the Medrash EtsHaim Youtube Channel will continue.

CURRICULUM

Overall Goal: To provide you with the tools to gain understanding of the core texts of Judaism, and to provide you with the tools to rapidly acquire a broad, wide-ranging knowledge of these key texts. All of our teaching resources are available for free on YouTube.

1. Entry level courses in Hebrew and the various Jewish dialects of Aramaic. The goal is to give you confidence, and if you are a more experienced scholar, to deepen you linguistic knowledge. Most yeshiboth do not formally teach either language, and there are few courses available online for free that are directed at rabbinic textual study.

2. Torah, Nebi'im and Ketubim, with the Aramaic Targum.

3. Mishnah for understanding. The most rapid way of doing this is for you to rapidly survey the texts in English and Hebrew, and we are producing a series of readings of bilingual readings of the Mishnah, using translations that are congruent with the rabbinic tradition.

4. Babylonian Talmud quick survey, for understanding.

5. Palestinian Talmud quick survey, for understanding.

6. Commentaries on the Guemara - Rambam, the RiF, the RoSH and the RaN.

7. Western Sephardic commentaries on core texts - introductions to various texts, and suggestions as to why they might be useful to study.

8. Halacha - the Western Sephardic tradition. Peri Ess Hayyim teshuboth, and the known works of Selomo de Oliveira.

The material on this site is produced by Mordechai de Molinar , who studied at Strauss Rabbinical Seminary from 1987 to 1991, subsequently at Jews' College (MA in Hebrew and Jewish Studies, then at Yeshibat Knesset Bet Elingezer in Jerusalem, followed by a further year of research at Bet ha-Medrash L'Rabbanim, London.
