An introduction to the medieval biblical and Talmudic authority, written by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning author of
Review:
"With gratifying depth and grace for such a short work, [Wiesel] summarizes Rashi's championing of the humane values of his religion and culture: peace, justice, learning....Above all, in this miniature history Wiesel dramatically evokes life within the precarious yet thriving Jewish communities of western Europe in the Middle Ages and mourns eloquently along with Rashi the arbitrary destruction of those communities by marauding Crusaders, a cruel 11th-century fate foreshadowing the 20th-century horrors to which Wiesel has borne courageous witness."

Rashi (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780805242546) Wiesel, Elie Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Schocken Books, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 197 x 125 mm. Brand New Book. Part of the Jewish Encounter series From Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, comes a magical book that introduces us to the towering figure of Rashi--Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki--the great biblical and Talmudic commentator of the Middle Ages. Wiesel brilliantly evokes the world of medieval European Jewry, a world of profound scholars and closed communities ravaged by outbursts of anti-Semitism and decimated by the Crusades. The incomparable scholar Rashi, whose phrase-by-phrase explication of the oral law has been included in every printing of the Talmud since the fifteenth century, was also a spiritual and religious leader: His perspective, encompassing both the mundane and the profound, is timeless. Wiesel's Rashi is a heartbroken witness to the suffering of his people, and through his responses to major religious questions of the day we see still another side of this greatest of all interpreters of the sacred writings. Both beginners and advanced students of the Bible rely on Rashi's groundbreaking commentary for simple text explanations and Midrashic interpretations. Wiesel, a descendant of Rashi, proves an incomparable guide who enables us to appreciate both the lucidity of Rashi's writings and the milieu in which they were formed.
