VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain Grammar the same way modern textbooks do. One class of grammar rules deal with style--eg how paragraphs should be organized. Rashi knew 4 methods of connecting consecutive paragraphs - CAUSE - ENABLEMENT - CONTRAST - UNIFYING THEME EXAMPLE: Ex18-01 states that Jethro heard what had happened in Egypt. But the previous chapter dealt with the defeat of Amalek! So Rashi-is-Simple: Pharoh heard everything that God had done FROM the Exodus TO the defeat of Amalek*10 | ||

*10 I realize there is a whole literature and ranging controversy between Ibn Ezra Ramban and Rashi on this verse. Some scholars therefore try and be exact with Rashis words: Rashi states: JETHRO HEARD ABOUT THE EXODUS AND AMALEK So Rashi left out the Miracle of the manna But the approach of this email group is to use a multiple portfolio approach: We deal with both - the literal wording of Rashi - the underlying idea governing Rashi The combination of these 2 ideas can lead to VILNA-GAON type emendations. In this case since the underlying idea of Rashi is to use the CONSECUTIVE PARSHAH method it is reasonable that we should amend Rashi as follows -JETHRO HEARD ABOUT [FROM] THE EXODUS -[TO] AMALEK Thus Rashi would no be averse to including the Manna miracle among the others. I think this a good examle of the difference in our approach. By emphasizing rules and ideas we are entitled to one word emendations that enrich Rashi Something to think about | ||
