| | Rashi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rashi רש"י, an acronym for Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (Hebrew: רבי שלמה בן יצחק) or Shlomo Yitzchaki, (February 22, 1040 – July 17, 1105) is one of Judaism's classic meforshim (Bible and Talmud commentators), and wrote the first comprehensive commentaries on the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) and Talmud. | | | Rashi's commentary on the Torah has become an indispensable part of the framework of Orthodox Judaism - tens of thousands, men and women alike, daily study "Chumash with Rashi" (Chumash = Pentateuch) in reviewing the Parsha to be read on the next Shabbat. | | | Yocheved and Meir's four sons were the tosafists Shmuel (Rashbam), Yaakov (Rabbeinu Tam), Yitzchak (Ribbam), and the grammarian Shlomo; one of their daughters, Hannah, wrote a responsum explaining the ritual and blessing for the Shabbat lights. |

| | Rashi (Jewish Commentator) |
| | Rashi had no sons, but his three daughters were women of culture, and two of the sons of Jochebed (see RASHBAM and TAM), as well as others of his descendants, carried on the family tradition for learning, adding lustre to Rashi's fame. | | | Rashi's real contribution to Jewish exegesis was his ability to explain the text as a grammarian, according to its plain sense, without getting lost in the traditional derash interpretations. | | | Even more important was Rashi's commentary on the Talmud, which became so acknowledged as the definitive interpretation that Rashi is cited simply under the epithet of "the Commentator." It is no exaggeration to assert that the modern world owes its power to understand the Talmud to Rashi. |

| | Rashi said of him: "Rabbenu Gershom has enlightened the eyes of the Captivity; for we all live by his instruction; all the Jews of these countries call themselves the disciples of his disciples." Gershom seems to have been the first Rhenish scholar who resorted to the written word for the spread of his teachings. | | | Rashi's disciples were in very truth his sons, for no sons were born to the illustrious rabbi. | | | Rashi, caring for him as for a brother, succeeded in curing him by means of a miraculous remedy. |

| | Rashi there (16), from Tanchuma, explains that the purpose was to ascertain the number of people who remained after the deaths of those who had worshipped the golden calf. | | | (Rashi to Shemos, 19:2) Here, however, the text states clearly that the camp surrounded the Mishkon on all four sides. | | | They were invited to participate in the deliberations and decisions concerning everything of importance to the congregation. |

| | Tradition » Torah Literature » Rashi Commentary » Did Rashi Lack a Scientific Method? |
| | In his commentary to Genesis 3:8, Rashi writes, “I come only to explain the literal meaning of scripture,” yet later in his commentary we find countless instances where Rashi appears to have abandoned the literal approach (adhered to by many other commentators), for a totally non-literal, midrashic interpretation. | | | In the merit of our study of Torah in general and Rashi in particular, may we soon witness the construction of the third temple—which, according to Rashi, is already built in heaven and is waiting to descend here on earth—with the coming of Mashiach speedily in our days. | | | In Rashi’s defense it has been argued that he did not intend to confine himself to a purely literal interpretation, but rather, to the more simple and straightforward ideas found in the midrashic tradition. |

| | Rashi had no sons, but he had several daughters, some say two, some say three. | | | "Rashi" is not the full name of that great man. It is merely a combination of the three Hebrew letters, Resh, Shin, Yud, which stand for Rabenu Shlomo Yitzchaki - our Rabbi Solomon, the son of Yitzchak. | | | These are some of the questions that many children ask themselves when they begin to learn Rashi, and these are some of the questions that I am going to answer here. |

| | JHS of Greater New Haven - Rashi |
| | In his writings, Rashi often translates difficult Hebrew terms into French, which he refers to as "our language" or as the "language of these people." Since Hebrew grammar was not yet being taught in the Jewish schools, Rashi often explains the meanings of difficult passages in terms of their grammatical structure. | | | The first letter of Rashi’s Torah commentary is alef, the last letter of his commentary is taf (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet). | | | From there he went to the yeshiva in Mainz, and at about the age of twenty-five he returned to Troyes. |

Now, but not later. |

| | Rashi's Commentary to the Torah |
| | Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (or: Shlomo Yitzhaki) is known by the acronym: RaSh"I. Rashi has been accepted by the entire Jewish world as the exegete par exellence, and he succeeded in completing commentaries to Judaism's most sacred texts, the Bible and the Babylonian Talmud. | | | Thus, it is widely argued that Rashi's main allegiance was to the plain meaning of the Bible, and utilized homiletical interpretations only in those cases where they provide a solution to a serious difficulty in the meaning of the text. | | | Rashi's commentary to the Torah was perhaps the first Hebrew book to be printed, and it is included in almost any edition of the Torah that is designed for traditional and synagogue use. |

| | Judaism 101 - RASHI - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG |
| | RASHI - acronym for "Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzchak." Born in Troyes, in France, in the eleventh century, and educated in Germany, he was, without doubt, the greatest commentator on the Written Law as well as on the Oral Law, and is studied universally in both areas by experts and beginners alike. | | | In his commentary on the Talmud, he takes students "by the hand," and leads them through simple or complex material, written in a largely unfamiliar language, and organized in a way that assumes that students are familiar with it all before they start, and makes the material clear. | | | In "Chumash," the Five Books of Moses, or the Written Law, RASHI's genius is, if possible, even more evident. |
