File Category: Commentaries

Composed in Middle-Age France (1000 CE). Commentary on the Tanakh written by Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi). Rashi lived in Troyes, France (1040-1105). Rashi’s commentary is an essential explanation of the Tanakh and resides in a place of honor on the page of almost all editions of the Tanakh. Over 300 supercommentaries have been written to further explain Rashi’s comments on the Torah. While quoting many midrashim and Talmudic passages, Rashi, in his commentary, states that his purpose is to present the pshat (contextual meaning) of the text.

This version includes only the English translation of the Books of Moses

      ÷Genesis 1:1

      בראשית IN THE BEGINNING — Rabbi Isaac said:

But E-Sword displays this:

      áøàùéú IN THE BEGINNING — Rabbi Isaac said:

I've run the "Hebrew Unicode Fixup" but still get the same result.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!
