Enoch Zundel ben Joseph (died 1867) was a Russian Talmudist best known as author of a commentary on Midrash Rabbah. He died at Białystok, Poland in 1867.
He is author of the following works:
A threefold commentary on Midrash Rabbah of the Pentateuch and five Megillot, in two parts (Wilna and Grodno, 1829–34; 2d ed., Wilna, 1845). It is composed of Etz Yosef ("Tree of Joseph"), which explains it according to the simple explanation of its meaning; Anaf Yosef ("Branch of Joseph"), which explains it homiletically; and Yad Yosef, which cross-references it to other midrashim.
