Midrash: What Was That?

Reporters know to talk to more than the headliners. They go back in the kitchen, talk to the concierge and the guy on the street. People who may not know all that was going on, but they know something. Sometimes what they don’t know makes them better observers. Who were the extras that first Christmas? The guy in the shop next to the stable, the servants of the wise men? We’ve all been the extra, standing in the wings, witnessing what others missed. What was it?

This midrash from 12/16/2018 was written by Mark Trelstad and features Mark, Kris Meyer, and Julie Windholz.
