	Rashi - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Rabbi Solomon IzxAQ1 (son of Isaac), usually cited as Rashi from the initials of those words, was born at Troyes in 1040 and died in the same town in 1105.
		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 unites homily with grammatical exegesis in a manner which explains the charm of the commentary.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - RASHI (SOLOMON BAR ISAAC): (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Rashi was also a liturgist; three seliḥot of his, beginning respectively: "Adonai Elohe ha-Ẓeba'ot," "Az ṭerem nimtaḥu," and "Tannot ẓarot lo nukal," are found in the seliḥot editions; his hymn on the unity of God ("Shir 'al aḥdut habore") has not yet been published.
		Rashi sometimes translates words and entire propositions into French, these passages, written in Hebrew characters and forming an integral part of the text, being called "la'azim." Rashi was not the first to employ them, but he greatly extended their use by adopting them.
		Rashi's commentaries on the Talmud became the text-book for rabbis and students, and his commentary on the Pentateuch the common study of the people.

	Rashi
		Rashi is the acronym of Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (or: Shlomo Yitzhaki), (1040-1105, Troyes, France.
		It is probably a sign of the success of Rashi's achievement that no subsequent scholar, until Adin Steinsaltz in the late 20th century, tried to compose another comprehensive explanatory commentary.
		Rashi's commentaries are of especial interest to secular scholars because he tended to translate unfamilar words into the spoken French of his day.

		The secret of Rashi's influence is to be sought chiefly in his methods and skills as a commentator and teacher.

	Rashi's Reading of the Akedah
		Rashi provides another narrative point of entry when his commentary raises the possibility that the "words" at the beginning of the narrative allude to a conflict between Isaac and his half-brother Ishmael.
		The concern that the events of Gen. 22 are entirely the result of Abraham's free well is re-enforced by Rashi's commentary by the strategic placement of two "conversations" between Abraham and the realm of the divine at the beginning of the narrative and in the denouement.
		Rashi’s commentary continues his expanded temporal framework for the narrative of the Akedah into the life of Israel in succeeding generations in his comment on verses 13 and 14.

	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.
		RASHI accomplished all this during the Period of the Crusades, when life was extremely dangerous for the Jew; yet, in his works, one hears none of the violence of the mobs, but only the sweet sounds of the Torah.

		Rashi’s unparalleled success was, therefore, clearly a sign of Divine approval, of both his work and the refinement of his character.
