米德拉士大楼是为巴西犹太教会（Congregação Judaica do Brasil）的研究中心而设计的。该中心致力于围绕犹太传统的各种主题进行辩论、讨论和教学，如文学、艺术、历史、心理学、政治等，以寻求生活中的意义、联系和参考。
The Midrash Building was designed to house a study center for the Congregação Judaica do Brasil (Jewish Congregation of Brazil). The center is devoted to the debate, discussion and teaching of various themes around Jewish traditions as in literature, arts, history, psychology, politics, etc., in the search for meaning, connections and references in life.
地面层有一个小商店、洗手间、酒吧、一个支持活动的厨房和一个小休息室，可以通过大的滑动门整合到露台上。一楼和二楼分别是犹太教堂（礼仪区）和礼堂（讲座），三楼有两间课程教室（学习区），可以根据需要进行组合。一间休息室、一间会议室和行政管理区使该楼层更加完整。四楼有一个杂物间，以及一个没有顶棚的露台，可以在这里举办特定的课程。
The ground level groups a small store, restrooms, a bar, a kitchen to support events and a small lounge that can be integrated to the terrace through large sliding doors. The first and second floors house, respectively, the Synagogue (liturgical area) and the Auditorium (lectures), and the third floor contains two classrooms for courses (study areas) that may be combined depending on the needs. A restroom, a meeting room and the administrative area complete the floor. On the fourth floor there is a utility room, as well as an uncovered terrace, where specific courses may be held.
在外墙上，由不同层次、大小和不同色调的白色希伯来字母组成的玻璃纤维网与砖墙重叠，从第一层延伸到顶部，并延伸到邻近地段的极限。字母总是构成 "Midrash "这个词，意思是 “得出道理"。
On the façade, a fiberglass mesh made up of Hebrew letters in different layers, sizes and different tones of white overlaps the brickwork, extending from the first floor to the top, and to the limit of the neighboring lots. Letters always form the word “Midrash”, which means “to draw sense”.
