Summary:

This is a manuscript of notes written by a preacher (דרשן) to document discourses presented in a synagogue about select Sedras (the specific Sedras are indicated before each paragraph). Each paragraph introduces a passage from the Midrash and offers novellae reconciling the passage with cited sources in halakhic and talmudic literature.
