11th century
France, The beginning of the "Reign of Terror" - the
Crusades. "Rashi" is the story of Rabbeinu Shlomo
Yitzchaki - one of the greatest and most beloved
Torah sages of all time.
A true
Jewish hero, he defended the Jews' right to learn
Torah and live a life of spirtual freedom.
Rashi's 900
year old commentaries open the door to the true and
plain meaning of the words and even the letters of
the Torah and Talmud.
To this
very day, Rashi is the most studied commentary in
the world. Every student, from the very beginner to
the most knowledgeable sage, prides themselves on
their study of Torah with Rashi.
