The fourteenth to sixteenth centuries were the most vibrant period
in the intellectual history of the Yemeni Jews. By rooting
themselves firmly in the tradition of the great philosopher
Maimonides, they found that the Hebrew Bible contained
philosophical truths that are at the core of humanity's highest
goal. In this anthology of midrashim, eight Yemeni authors explore
the means of ethical and intellectual achievement, the structure of
the universe, the natural world, human existence, prophecy,
miracles, Jewish law and practices, and the essence of allegory,
parable, and symbol. The result is an extraordinary glimpse into
the heart and mind of medieval Yemenite Judaism.
