Exploring Rashi: Life, Works, Legacy, and Commemorative Stamps

This presentation delves into the life of Rashi, a key figure in Jewish scholarship. We cover his biography including birth, early life, and yeshiva studies, as well as his contributions to the Tanakh and Talmud. The legacy of Rashi is examined through his supercommentaries, and we investigate commemorative stamps issued in his honor in Israel and France. Additional insights include resources for beginners and advanced students looking to learn about Rashi's impact on Jewish education and scholarship.
