 Midrash Eleh Ezkerah

Midrash Eleh Ezkerah () is an aggadic midrash, one of the smaller midrashim, which receives its name from the fact that a seliḥah for the Day of Atonement, which treats the same subject and begins with the words "Eleh ezkerah," recounts the execution of ten famous teachers of the Mishnah in the time of the persecution by Hadrian (see Ten Martyrs).The same event is related in a very ancient source, Eichah Rabbah.
