A midrash is a story told to explicate the meaning of a Biblical text. This is a collection of short mysteries, all linked by a connection to the Jewish religion or culture. For the most part, the stories are just okay, but one did make me weep a little. That was Michael A. Kahn's "The Bread of Affliction", in which the mystery of a Holocaust survivor's missing will is solved by reference to the Passover seder.
