CROSS REFERENCE TEFILLIN |
RASHIS COVERED: Dt06-08a Dt06-08b Rashi cross reference tefilin
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Dt06-04:08 states
- These words (The Bible) should be on your minds
--- And you should study them continuously
--- And you should tie them as a SYMBOL on your hand
--- [Any you should tie them as] ORNAMENTS on your head
The capped words SYMBOL and ORNAMENTS refer to the TEFILLIN.
As the LIST below shows the Torah explicitly connects tefillin
- with learning
- with the idea of a SYMBOL and ORNAMENT
In fact we have 4-5 paragraphs where the tefillin are mentioned

TODAYS RASHI RULE: OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: FURTHER DETAILS
---------------------------------------
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE
One way of doing this is to cross reference a
verse that speaks about the SAME topic but gives
FURTHER details.
STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah
Dt26-05 states that
-------------------------------
With only a FEW PEOPLE did the
Jews go down to Egypt
-------------------------------
FURTHER DETAILS on the meaning of
the Biblical phrase FEW PEOPLE is
provided in Gn46.
EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading the Rashi try reading
Gn46 yourself and see if you can
discover the further details.
RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Gn46-27
-----------------------------
The total number of people who
came with Jacob to Egypt is 70
-----------------------------
Thus the Rashi method of OTHER VERSES
in this case has explained to us that
the FEW PEOPLE that went down to
Egypt refers to SEVENTY people

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how, if you are a teacher then you
can present the verse in the first column
(eg Dt26-05) and the CHAPTER (but not the verse)
in the 3rd column---e.g. Gn46.
The student is then instructed to discover
the further details. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis.
TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
We list all verses where TEFILLIN are mentioned.
As can be seen many of them mention LEARNING, SYMBOLS
and ORNAMENTS.*1

COMMENTS |
*1 As the reader reviews this list, they will notice how
a variety of words/phrases are used
- THEY WILL BE vs BIND THEM on your arm/head
- SIGN, REMEMBERANCE, ORNAMENT, TRINKET
- LEARNING
In fact the above list contains the only 4 Biblical
paragraphs mentioning that something should be BOUND on
your arm/head. Collectively this list requires us to
wear ARM and HEAD tefillin which function as a symbol
that helps us learn
