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.

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.

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.
