FORT VI.)-4900 The term "Agada" is applied to that part of Talmudic or Rab- binic literature which contains homilies, stories and general lit- erature, as distinguished from Halacha which is simply a mat- ter : of law. The term comes from .a root meaning - to tell" and :thus would imply that which the scholars told of events, tales or general knowledge. Since the ac- tivities of the rabbis were a mix- ture of deciding technical points of law, as well as. deriving the ethical and moral precepts from the Scriptures and from life as a whole, it is not strange to find that in the Talmudic and Rab- binic literature one finds a great wealth of stories, homilies and general information besides the basic and detailed laws of the Jewish way of life.
