Shir Meira Feit

Shir is a circle-maker, song carrier, award-winning composer*, embodied ritualist, and multimedia designer. For over two decades, Shir has explored the growing edge of Jewish Renewal, a trans-denominational, ecumenical, mystical approach to Judaism. Shir studies and practices spiritual accompaniment, contemplative arts, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic psychology, world mysticisms, neuroqueer theory, digital design, artificial intelligence, and medicine music. After hours, Shir can be found DJing, dancing, playing word games, inscribing melodies, listening to the rain, dreaming with the night sky, and resisting the urge to buy more books.

מדרש הגדול על פרשת תרומה | Why the Mishkan Resembles the World and the Human Body: a translation of Midrash haGadol on Parashat Terumah, by Shir Meira Feit (in memory of Laurie Feit, z”l)

Contributed by: Unknown, Shir Meira Feit

This translation was prepared by Shir Meira Feit in loving memory of his sister, Laurie Feit, z”l, (1961-2017). “Midrash HaGadol or The Great Midrash (Hebrew: מדרש הגדול) is an anonymous late (14th century) compilation of aggadic midrashim on the Pentateuch taken from the two Talmuds and earlier Midrashim of Yemenite provenance. In addition, it borrows quotations from the Targums, and Maimonides[2] and Kabbalistic writings (Oesterley & Box 1920), and in this aspect is unique among the various midrashic collections. This important work—the largest of the midrashic collections—came to popular attention only relatively recently (late 19th century) through the efforts of Jacob Saphir, Solomon Schecter, and David Zvi Hoffman. In addition to containing midrashic material that is not found elsewhere, such as the Mekhilta of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the Midrash HaGadol contains what are considered to be more correct versions of previously known Talmudic and Midrashic passages.” (via wikipedia)
