I also need to read more 'cos their insights are really
profound.
Actually you need not read Jewish stuff from their perspective. It
may be hard for you to understand and appreciate because you are
"contaminated" by Christian theology.
Since you are Catholic, I suggest you read works by your Catholic
forefathers. Some of them were well versed in Jewish exegesis of
Scripture and I have no doubt some Jewish ideas crept into Catholic
understanding. Remember our Genesis discussion on the missing "it
was very good"? You were taught ideas which originated from the
Jews.
For starters, you can read works by Nicolas of Lyra. From
wikipedia:
Nicholas Of Lyra (c. 1270October 1349), or Nicolaus Lyranus, a
Franciscan teacher, was among the most influential practitioners of
Biblical exegesis in the Middle Ages. He was a doctor at the
Sorbonne by 1309 and ten years later was appointed the head of all
Franciscans in France. His major work, Postillae perpetuae
in universam S. Scripturam, was the first printed commentary on the
Bible. Printed in Rome in 1471, it was later available in
Venice, Basel, and elsewhere. In it, each page of Biblical text was
printed in the upper center of the page and embedded in a
surrounding commentary (illustration, right).
Nicolas of Lyra's approach to explicating Scripture was
firmly based on the literal sense, which for him is the foundation
of all mystical or allegorical or anagogical expositions.
He deplored the tortured and elaborated readings being given to
Scripture in his time. The textual basis was so important that he
urged that errors be corrected with reference to Hebrew texts, an
early glimmer of techniques of textual criticism, though Nicholas
urged as a good Catholic that the traditions of the Church were of
equal weight to Scripture:
"I protest that I do not intend to assert or determine anything
that has not been manifestly determined by Sacred Scripture or by
the authority of the Church... Wherefore I submit all I have said
or shall say to the correction of Holy Mother Church and of all
learned men..." (Second Prologue to Postillae).
Nicholas utilized all sources available to him, fully
mastered Hebrew and drew copiously from the Talmudic commentaries,
the Pugio Fidei of Raymond Martini and of course the commentaries
of St. Thomas Aquinas. His lucid and concise exposition,
his soundly-based observations made Postillae the most-consulted
manual of exegesis until the 16th century. Martin Luther
depended upon it. When E.A. Gosselin compiled a listing of
the printed editions of works by Nicolaus de Lyra, it ran to 27
pages (in Traditio 26 (1970), pp 399-426).
He was born in the village of Vieille-Lyre, Normandy, hence his
name. Like others in the 14th century, he was occupied by the
possibility of the conversion of the Jews, to whom he dedicated
hortatory addresses. He wrote Pulcherrimae quaestiones Iudaicam
perfidam in catholicam fide improbantes, which was one of the
sources Martin Luther used in his On the Jews and Their Lies.
Here is the Catholic url on him:

PS: The Talmud is the Jewish Oral Tradition. The article said he
"drew copiously from the Talmudic commentaries" .. dunno true or
not.
