On the meaning of sod-- the idea of interpreting this as post-Mosaic authorship derives from the 14th century Joseph Bonfils (Tsafnat Paneah supercommentary on Ibn Ezra) and is indeed embraced by Weiser.
If my memory serves me correctly, he stated that his view is that Rashi has a hierarchy and tries to bring the Ma'amar Chazal which is closest to the Pshat.

According to Rashi's reading, Rebecca's question should be read as "If this is the case, if my pregnancy is so abnormal, why did I want to become pregnant in the first place?" Rebecca regrets having wanted to become pregnant.
The Maharal of Prague in his supercommentary on Rashi presents a different interpretation of Rebecca's question.
The Maharal understands Rebecca's question as: "If my pregnancy is abnormal, why am I sitting idly by and not investigating the matter." For the Maharal, Rebecca's personal crisis spurs her to action - it is not enough to be worried about the nature of her pregnancy and the child that she is carrying.

Imam al-Sawi mentions in his supercommentary on the tafsir al-Jalalayn that the Qur’anic exegetes mention four possible reasons for this verse being revealed [asbab nuzul].

Badr al-‘Alam al-Mirtahi in al-Badr al-Sari a supercommentary on Faid al-Bari mentions that what must have happened, joining between the various versions, is that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was seated on the pulpit about to deliver the khutba when the man walked in.

The importance of Rashi's commentary may be seen in the fact that his Biblical commentary was the first Hebrew book printed in 1475.
He is known for his supercommentary to Rashi's Torah commentary.
Leibowitz notes: "A renowned Talmudist, mathematician and astronomer who, as chief rabbi of Turkey and a friend of the Sultan at the time of the Spanish Expulsion, was able to extend valuable help to his exiled coreligionists."

 Commentaries
The 11th century Pentateuch commentary by Rashi of Troyes is the classical work of Jewish biblical exgesis; an edition of his commentary was in fact the first dated Hebrew book.
The author of this critical supercommentary on Rashi supposedly used a manuscript of Rashi's commentary dating from the year 1300.
The prominence of the Russian text on the title page of this Hebrew book reflects the efforts of the Karaite community to ingratiate itself with the anti-Jewish Czarist government.

The supercommentary places one of the finest commentaries by the single most influential Hebrew biblical exegete in dialogue with the full gamut of ancient, medieval and modern exegesis.
The supercommentary identifies Rashi's sources and pinpoints the exegetical cruces to which Rashi responds, defines the nuances of Rashi's exegetical, linguistic and theological terminolgy, and guides readers to use the translation to gain access to the Hebrew.
The introductory chapters constitute the most up-to-date discussion of the scope of Rashi's literary legacy and of the history of research.

The Messenger is called a Light because the first thing which Allah brought forth from the darkness of oblivion with the light of His power was the light of Muhammad, Blessings and peace upon him, as he (the Prophet) said: The first thing Allah created is my light."

Thanks to e-technology, if you would like to add your voice to the discussion, there is a section on the web site for you to write in your own comment either on the platform or on one of the commentaries on the platform.
Thus the entire Temple will be writing a supercommentary on the commentary on the platform [Did I lose anyone?].
I have invited a few guest supercommentarists, Rabbis who worked on writing the platform, to be guest supercommentators, so you will also be able to see what they say and if you want to comment on one of the guest’s comments, than that would be a super-supercommentary — ok I’ll stop.

However, even an actual murderer is executed only by the sword, which is a lesser punishment, so how could the ben sorer u’moreh be punished, on account of the concern for the future, with a punishment more severe than one who actually murders?!
This question is asked by R. Eliyahu Mizrachi (the classical supercommentary on Rashi).
He answers that murder is mentioned merely as an example, but, in truth, the youngster will come to violate other serious sins, such as Shabbat, which also carries the punishment of stoning.

 Intro to Maharal on Avot
He supposedly met with many of the important personages of his day, including the King of Czechoslovakia and the astronomer Tycho Brahe.
He wrote many works, including a supercommentary on Rashi on Humash, a commentary on many of the aggadot in the Talmud, the work on Avot, and several freestanding works (meaning not commentaries), taking up various topics of deep Jewish interest.
In his perush on Avot, the element we will find most interesting is the context he provides for the mishnayot, meaning the topics he manages to read into seemingly straightforward texts.

Certainly, on a personal level, Yosef would have wanted to make his identity known earlier, but he was compelled to wait until Yehudah would manifest the sense of responsibility that had been absent when he had been sold.
Gur Aryeh, another supercommentary on Rashi, questions Rashi 's claim that Yosef could not bear to see the embarrassment of his brothers before the Egyptians:
One could answer the question of Gur Aryeh by pointing to the fact that in the previous case, the servants of Pharoah were aware that the brothers had not in reality stolen the cup, as Yosef had asked them to place the cup in Binyamin's bag ( Bereshit 44:2).

 Joseph Kaspi (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
He wrote some thirty works dedicated to explaining the Bible, in which philosophy served him both as a method and as a compendium of philosophical conclusions which, to his mind, the biblical author had wanted to convey to the reader.
Some of Kaspi's works were devoted to logic and linguistics as methods suitable for biblical exegesis; others were commentaries on books of the Bible or supercommentaries, and he also wrote on theological subjects.
Of this vast oeuvre, only some has been published; much remains in manuscript, and some works have apparently been lost.
