Beit Avi Chai presents "Reading Leviticus": Honey from a rock: midrashim on the book of Leviticus
Sacrifices, leprosy, laws of the priesthood, and laws of festivals-out of all these the rabbis of Eretz Israel in the first centuries of the Common Era created one of the most interesting and most fascinating collection of midrashim in our possession.
