5.0 out of 5 stars Rashi, June 5, 2006

By 

Danny Brothers (Virginia & Israel) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sapirstein Edition Rashi: The Torah with Rashi's Commentary Translated, Annotated and Elucidated, Vols. 1-5 [Box Set, Student Size]: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Hardcover)

Rashi's classic commentary on the Torah, presented with a level of clarity and understanding you never thought possible. What textual difficulty troubled Rashi? Why did he choose this particular comment? What of Ramban's objection? How does the Torah's language indicate Rashi's p'shat? To which passage in the Targum does Rashi refer? Anyone who studies Rashi, "the father of all commentators,'' will have questions like these. Behind the deceptive simplicity of Rashi is a depth and clarity that has engaged the minds of great scholars for over eight hundred years. In this brilliant new treatment, Rashi is presented in the manner of the Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud, the method that has won praise the world over:

Chumash text, translated according to Rashi
The full and accurate text of Rashi and Onkelos
The literal translation of Rashi, highlighted and interwoven with explanatory words and phrases to ease and clarify the flow of Rashi's text
Notes on Rashi, including questions, answers, sources, and elucidations
Written by an expert on Rashi, in collaboration with a group of outstanding scholars
7" x 10" page size
Reinforced binding For teachers. For students. For parents. For anyone seeking a clear and thorough knowledge of Chumash-Rashi.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only one with Rashi's text boldfaced, February 12, 2008

This review is from: Sapirstein Edition Rashi: The Torah with Rashi's Commentary Translated, Annotated and Elucidated, Vols. 1-5 [Box Set, Student Size]: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Hardcover)

By far the most literal translation of Rashi and the only one with his text distinguished from the text by others (explaining Rashi) using a bold typeface. Graphically beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpul, April 16, 2010

By 

Adam - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sapirstein Edition Rashi: The Torah with Rashi's Commentary Translated, Annotated and Elucidated, Vols. 1-5 [Box Set, Student Size]: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy (Hardcover)

This series is very helpful as a reference for someone who's own translation of what Rashi is saying is a bit hazy. Each Rashi phrase is included in it's original, translated into regular hebrew font, and then English. Only make sure not to use it as a crutch- which is dangerous with artscroll in general.
