[Avodah] Moshe Rabbenu and his family

[Eli Turkel]

<<As one who loves and delves into Midrashim, I believe that it is important
to ALWAYS introduce a midrash by declaring it to be one. Rather than saying
"Her name was Batyah", one should say "There is a Midrash [site source if
you recall] that gives her name as Batyah." >>

Just came from a shiur of R. Benny Lau and he pointed out that most of our
impressions of Mordecai and Esther and the Jewish community come from
midrashim.
Basing himself strictly on the pshat and what he admitted was a minority of
midrashim he had a completely different take on the entire story (He just
published a
book on the topic)
