 Rashi
רש"י is a Hebrew acronym for רבי שלמה
יצחקי (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaqi),
(February 22, 1040 – July 13, 1105), A
rabbi in France, famed as the author of
the first comprehensive commentaries on
the Talmud and Tanakh.
Acclaimed for his ability to present the
basic meaning of the text in a concise
yet lucid fashion, Rashi appeals to both
learned scholars and beginning students,
and his works remain a centerpiece of
contemporary Jewish study. His
commentaries, which appear in all
printed editions of the Talmud and Torah
(notably the Chumash), are an
indispensable companion to both casual
and serious students of Judaism's
primary texts. |
