Maybe you've already been around the Jewish block for a minute. You know what midrash is, you have a little bit of context already. (Or maybe you're still catching up but still want to jump right into the deep end! Who am I to tell you what to go for and in what order?)
Of course, everything here is for the intelligent lay reader. But these pieces in particular– a wild mix of history, philosophy, midrash, gemara (Talmud), serious Purim Torah and more– might be of particular interest if you're already over here.
Who else do you know who loves this stuff? Make their day.
