For centuries, the brilliant light of Rashi has illuminated the world of Torah. Behind his seemingly simple words lie treasures of knowledge and profound thought. The study of the Torah through the lens of Rashi has become a sacred tradition for generations, allowing us to “sit in Rashi’s beis medrash” and partake of his explanation of the Torah’s words and his exploration of its depths.

For decades, English speakers have relied on the Sapirstein Edition Rashi for a translation and basic explanation of the Torah’s foremost commentary. Baruch Hashem, the world of Torah has grown. There are more people studying Torah today than in many centuries, and they want more. They wish to dig deeper, understanding not just what Rashi says, but the underlying concepts, along with enlightening glimpses into Rashi’s thought process. What motivated this comment? What counterargument does the Ramban put forth, and how might Rashi respond? How do the Torah’s words prompt Rashi’s interpretation? Beneath the deceptively straightforward exterior of Rashi’s commentary lies a depth that has captivated talmidei chachamim for more than eight centuries.

Enter The Elucidated Rashi on Chumash.

The first volume in this groundbreaking 10-volume series, on Parashiyos Bereishis through Toldos, presents Rashi’s wisdom with unexcelled depth and clarity. Explanatory words ensure the seamless flow of his commentary, clarifying his points and connecting them with the text of the Chumash. Comprehensive notes offer additional insights into Rashi’s ideas and provide clarifications from other commentators.

“The Elucidated Rashi culls from literally hundreds of commentaries,” says Rabbi Eliezer Herzka, General Editor of the project, “distilling them into a clear, comprehensive approach to Rashi. The work is designed to give a broad and in-depth presentation of Rashi, clear enough for even the student to understand, yet thorough enough for even the talmid chacham to appreciate.”

“The Elucidated Rashi on Chumash is unlike anything published before in any language, Hebrew, English or otherwise,” says Rabbi Gedaliah Zlotowitz, president of the Mesorah Heritage Foundation. “Calling it ‘revolutionary’ is not an overstatement. No work on Rashi has ever been produced on this level.”
