Medan holds a B.Ed degree from Michlalah Jerusalem College, and an MA degree from Touro College.[4]
In May 2023 he received an Honorary Doctorate from Bar Ilan University.[5]
His Biblical analysis does not shy away from nuanced analysis of the patriarchs and other Biblical figures in innovative commentaries on Tanakh, which combine lucid textual analysis with intimate knowledge of geographical and historical realia, and of a vast body of Jewish tradition. He has published book-length studies on Daniel, Ruth, and the Batsheva story. A much wider variety of lectures which he has given at Yeshivat Har Etzion have not yet been published in written form.
He was a partner in drafting the Gavison-Medan Covenant,[6][7]
a proposed constitution for the State of Israel which is intended to benefit Israel's religious and secular communities simultaneously (despite their disagreement on a number of issues).
