Endnote 2 – Responses to Jew-Hatred
On the historical aspects of Midrash, see bibliographical references in C.G. Montefiore and H. Loewe, A Rabbinic Anthology (New York: Schocken, 1974). An example of its actual application is Gedaliah Alon, The Jews in Their Land in the Talmudic Age, translated and edited by Gershon Levi (Jerusalem: Magnes, 1980).
