After Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael away, we never hear about Abraham and Ishmael interacting again; the only subsequent reference to him in the Bible is when Ishmael came back to help bury Abraham. But the Midrash fills the gap.

Notes from Limmud 2011: Melchizedek as a Prototype for Ancient Jews and Christians

If Abram was the first monotheist, how did Melchiṣedeq get to be not only a recogniser, but a priest of G-d Most High!? He's not a son of Aaron [which is the definition of 'priest' in Judaism]! And Abram recognised him as such! This is a big problem, because then someone could step forward and say 'I am a descendent of Melchiṣedeq; let me be High Priest!'

Notes from Limmud 2008: Romance in the margins of the Book of Esther

Talk blurb: We all know the Book of Esther, but it's not the whole Megillah! In this session Stewart Brookes explores midrashic material which talks of romance, desire and love that is more triangular than a hamantashen! How did Esther really feel about Ahasuerus? Why was Mordechai always lurking at the gate? And what's all this about the king's sceptre? From midrash to the modern, from angels to anguish, take a tour of Esther's text life.

'It came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it.' Pretty clearly a sin, you'd have thought. Not necessarily so, though...
