The Master of Arts in Midrash at the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) is an advanced graduate program focusing on the study, analysis, and interpretation of classical rabbinic literature, primarily Midrash. The program combines traditional beit midrash learning with rigorous academic scholarship. Students deepen their Hebrew language skills, advance their analytic proficiency in rabbinic texts, and engage with classical and modern scholarship in Midrash. The curriculum typically involves advanced study of rabbinic literature, text skills, Hebrew language, and courses in exegetical methodology. The program prepares students for doctoral study, Jewish education, or positions of Jewish communal leadership.
